The Specialist Community Public Health Nursing (SCPHN) course is aimed at registered nurses or midwives who wish to develop their knowledge and skills within the context of Specialist Community Public Health Nursing (Health Visiting). What's covered in this course? As Specialist Community Public Health Nurses, Health Visitors have a unique role in connecting with families and communities, allowing them to reach every child in their own homes. They provide a collaborative, personalised, evidence-based, and proportionate service that is focused on the needs of children, families, and communities. As a Health Visitor, you will understand the wider determinants of health and the impact these can have on individuals across their lifetime, allowing you to address health inequalities through early intervention and prevention to promote and improve health and well-being. Our Specialist Community Public Health Nursing - Health Visitor course is underpinned by research and evidence and provides you with a balance of academic and practical learning opportunities. The course has been co-produced with people with experience of health visiting services and practice partners who will support your learning in practice. The course will help you develop as an autonomous practitioner in public health and adopt a life-course approach to your evolving practice. You will also acquire skills to effect change that reduces health inequalities. Your learning and development will be supported by academic assessors, practice assessors and practice supervisors in line with NMC guidelines (2023).
