The School of Nursing and Midwifery in partnership with associated Health Service Providers offers opportunities for nurses to study in different specialities. This one-year course consists of theoretical instruction and clinical placements. All students will have a minimum of 250 hours supervised clinical practice as recommended by the National Council for the Professional Development of Nursing and Midwifery.
The aim of these courses is to facilitate the qualified nurse working in specialist areas to become a more knowledgeable, analytical, reflective and caring nurse, capable of assessing, planning, implementing and evaluating specialist nursing care based on research and evidence-based practice.
These courses consist of two core modules:
* Research Dissemination in Clinical Practice
* Healthcare Management and Quality Improvement
and four specialist modules.
All students must pass the core and specialists component. Students must also complete a clinical component relevant to their speciality strand. All students must pass the required clinical competencies in order to achieve the Postgraduate award.
