Faculty of Nursing & Midwifery

The RCSI Faculty of Nursing & Midwifery was founded in 1974 and has a proud tradition of delivering educational programmes to nurses and midwives in Ireland.

The Faculty provides registered nurses and midwives with education and training at the highest standard to support the maintenance of their professional development and competence.

Teaching and education

Today, the Faculty focuses on the continuing education of qualified nurses and midwives and offers an extensive and diverse range of CPD programmes and an Overseas Aptitude Test for international nurses as a prerequisite to registration with the NMBI.

Clinical Bursary Awards

A suite of new clinical bursaries has been launched to enhance the capabilities and capacity of nurses and midwives, from graduate to advanced practice, in the delivery of universal health coverage (UHC) and population health.
