Postgraduate Diploma - Specialist Community Public Health Nursing (School Nursing)

Along with public health leadership skills to enable students to contribute to the new school nursing agenda, students gain knowledge and skills in public health practice that will help students address health inequalities with individuals and communities. They also gain an understanding of the evidence that supports and underpins practice.

Developing as a responsive, resilient, and adaptable practitioner who can adapt to the changing health and social care environment is important. Students concentrate on quality improvement and how leadership abilities and traits can influence the achievement of sustained change within SCPHN practice. In a health visit setting, them look at the family's and child's medical needs, safeguards, and surveillance, and you prescribe based on the community practitioner's formulary.

This course is practice-focused, covering 50% theory and 50% practice. To offer a clinical placement, students need to have an agreement and contract with a health trust, the local government, or an employer. Their sponsoring organisation assigns them a practice assessor who will both assist them in learning in practice and evaluate their competency in practice.
