Summary

LJMU's Specialist Community Practitioner (District Nursing) course combines theory and primary care practice, preparing practitioners to lead service development.

  • Study for a District Nursing qualification recorded with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC)

  • Follow a curriculum developed by a team of nationwide policy influencers

  • Learn from expert nurses and visiting specialists

  • Have your professional competencies, as set out by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), assessed in theory and practice

  • Benefit practice placements with an NMC approved practice teacher

  • This course will only run subject to minimum numbers

The course’s student-centred approach values prior learning and experience and builds on existing clinical and theoretical knowledge.

You will be encouraged to share your past experiences as you network within your peer group and beyond.

Many sessions are co-taught with other community nursing programmes enabling you to gain a better understanding and appreciation of the roles played by, and the challenges faced by, other healthcare specialists.

You can study full-time or part-time. Modules are delivered one or two days a week and clinical placements intersperse the classroom learning blocks. Theory days can be used for activities such as complementary module-related sessions, masterclasses, personal study and assignment preparation.

You will be appointed a Personal Tutor to support and oversee your progress throughout the course and you will work with an experienced Practitioner on work placements.

Formal teaching takes place in Tithebarn Street in the city centre campus. This vibrant location offers everything you could possibly need during your studies. The resident Avril Robarts library, for example, is open 24/7 during semesters and has computer rooms, learning spaces and on site catering facilities.

This course is currently undergoing its scheduled programme review, which may impact the advertised modules. Programme review is a standard part of the University’s approach to quality assurance and enhancement, enabling us to ensure that our courses remain up to date and maintain their high standard and relevancy.

Once the review is completed, this course website page will be updated to reflect any approved changes to the advertised course. These approved changes will also be communicated to those who apply for the course to ensure they wish to proceed with their application.
