Overview
The Practice Nursing programme is a 60 credit at level 7 (postgraduate) programme which means that on successful completion of the programme you will be awarded with a Post Graduate Certificate (PG Cert) in Practice Nursing. The teaching provided on the programme is shared with level 6 (postgraduate) students.
The aim of the programme is to prepare registered nurses who have not worked in general practice before to have a baseline competence in the General Practice Nursing (GPN) role. The programme incorporates academic learning and work-based learning.
Within the programme the key clinical skills required for the role of GPN are included. The programme delivers venepuncture, ear care, wound management, cervical cytology and immunisation and vaccination training, as well as providing the foundations for chronic condition management. The programme is designed to develop both clinical and academic skills to prepare for a career in General Practice Nursing.
Throughout the programme competencies will be demonstrated within the work place and documented in a portfolio of evidence. This will be supported with supervised practice with a GPN mentor.
