Location of University of the West of Scotland
The role of the nurse within healthcare in the UK and across the world is changing in response to rapidly developing social, political and economic drivers. The nursing interface with patient and client access to healthcare is also changing and the responsibilities of the nurse are consequently expanding from the traditional models.
Leadership, research, education, accountability and autonomy in the context of heightened responsibility and policy change will all be explored. Students will have the opportunity to apply these and other relevant issues to their own field of nursing practice and to undertake optional study choices from a menu of modules relevant to a broad cross-section of nursing practice. Under guidance from the programme team, students will tailor their learning to their own field of nursing practice or interest. Students can undertake modules
by either mode or by a mixture of both, offering further flexibility in delivery
