The programme is designed to enable Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) registered nurses to adopt a strategic approach to the provision of advancing community nursing specialist practice, whilst, where appropriate, effectively collaborating with other disciplines and agencies, to promote the health and well-being of individuals, families, groups, and communities.

This programme will equip you with the skills and knowledge to excel in your chosen field, whether you’re aiming to be a Community Children’s Nurse, District Nurse or General Practice Nurse.
