The programme is aimed at all health and social care practitioners, including registered nurses from all disciplines, midwives, health visitors, social workers and other professionals allied to health care (AHPs).
Practitioners in health and social care are working in an ever changing environment, and have a diverse range of demands made upon them in order to meet both employers'; requirements and their own educational needs. Similarly, practitioners' roles may change or they may be required to take on additional responsibilities, so their educational direction needs to be changed. This programme offers the flexibility for practitioners to choose from a range of modules to meet their needs.
