PG Dip Specialist Community Public Health Nursing/Health Visiting/School Nursing

King's College London, University of London

The Specialist Community Public Health Visiting Postgraduate Diploma course offers the professional qualification for NMC-registered nurses (level 1) and midwives who wish to gain entry to the Specialist Community Public Health Nursing (SCPHN) part of the National Midwifery Council (NMC) register. The new NMC Standards for post-registration were introduced in 2024, and accreditation of the new King's College London SCPHN programme has now been approved by the NMC. Our programme teaches students to work in partnership with people to prevent ill health, protect health and promote wellbeing. Health visitors and school nurses lead, influence and collaborate with other agencies, organisations and professionals to improve and embed sustainable changes to the overall health and wellbeing of people at home, in schools, and within communities. SCPHNs also play a key role in safeguarding people who are the most vulnerable in society, and are ambitious for the public health of the communities they serve. They actively pursue sustainable development goals that promote everyone’s right to a healthy life. Interested applicants should connect with their nominated public healthcare provider organisation and identify King's College London as their university of choice.
