Summary
Our Postgraduate Diploma aims to develop Specialist Community Public Health Nursing School Nursing (SCPHN SN) practitioners who are skilled at working autonomously in a range of public health community settings. School Nurses have a designated role as key contributors to early years development, targeting the health and emotional needs of school aged children and young people. They are instrumental in providing a holistic, individualised community and population level public health service, offering a significant contribution to improving health through prevention and early intervention. The SCPHN SN will strive to empower children, young people, and their families to use available resources within their communities and work with other multi-agencies / teams to develop individual and community capacity, support community health development and promote health and well-being throughout the population.
This course is available full or part time, and all candidates must already be qualified nurses and / or midwives with various levels of experience. The programme has been designed to meet Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) requirements and prepares candidates to support community health developments and promote health and well-being throughout the population. We provide a balance of theory and practice and provide candidates with a range of learning and teaching strategies. This approach allows students to be taught the theoretical principles within the university environment and later apply them within a professional environment, providing a critical link between academia and practice.
If studying a PGDip, it may be possible to upgrade to an MSc exit qualification during your studies however please note this will not be accredited by the NMC.
