Course details
Continuing professional development is a key professional requirement for nurses and postgraduate academic qualifications have been linked to positive patient outcomes through improved communication, expanded knowledge and stronger critical thinking skills.
This programme aims to support practitioners in practicing at an enhanced level, taking cognisance of the changing provision of healthcare both in acute medical and primary community and continuing care (PCCC) settings.
Flexibility within the programme allows the student to choose three optional modules most suited to their clinical setting and professional development needs and provides a platform for achieving greater efficiencies in applying healthcare discoveries to clinical practice.
Successful completion of the programme will equip students with the required skill set to perform their roles in a quality based, consistent and efficient manner.
Furthermore, the advanced research methods and advanced leadership and critical analysis skills acquired from the programme will further the students’ skills as a member of the interdisciplinary team. Following successful completion of the Postgraduate Diploma in Medical Nursing, nurses can progress to Year 2 of the MSc in the Medical Nursing programme.
