Do you have a desire become a School Nurse? 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 (School Nursing).
As a Specialist Community Public Health Nurse, School Nurses uphold school-aged children's and young people's rights. They provide a collaborative, culturally appropriate, personalised, evidence-based, and inclusive service that advocates for the optimum health of all school-aged children and young people.
As a School Nurse, 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 health education, health promotion, and evidence-based interventions that are age and maturity appropriate.
Our Specialist Community Public Health Nursing – School Nursing 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 who have experience of the service and practice partners who will support you in 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.
