This course allows you to extend your career in nursing, with the emphasis on teaching and learning methods. Rather than producing technicians, it aims to enhance the quality of healthcare by fostering a broader, deeper and more critical approach to nursing and education. The course will prepare you for a deeper involvement in the development and communication of the theories behind your practice.

The applied education element of this course allows you to register on the 'teacher' division of the NMC. The course is also recognised by SEDA (the Staff and Educational Development Association), and accredited by the HEA (Higher Education Academy).

This course's aim is to encourage independent and autonomous learning, along with confident teaching and communication techniques. You'll build on your existing knowledge and skills to a point where you will be confident in your ability to participate more actively in your chosen field, particularly in the area of policy development and communication. With the support of our teaching staff, you'll learn to interpret complex materials independently and creatively, reflect on your learning, critically examine approaches to effective team building, and exercise judgement in relation to policy, workloads and professional practice.
