This module offers a structured approach for school nursing SCPHN students seeking to enhance their expertise in community public health nursing within modern contexts. It addresses the complexities of professional practice while exploring how policy and research shape career growth. Participants will bridge theoretical concepts with real-world applications, examining social, political, and cultural influences as their clinical expertise expands. Through evidence-based methods and hands-on learning experiences, practitioners will adapt their knowledge to optimize professional capabilities. The curriculum strengthens specialized skills, clinical proficiency, and overall competency, cultivating autonomous, well-informed leaders capable of evidence-driven decision-making and intervention assessment.

Qualification Requirements

The student wishing to complete the SCPHN (SN) PGD must be able to evidence a degree in either nursing and/or midwifery and be (live) on the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) register. Ideally applicants will be required to demonstrate a period of consolidated practice following initial registration as an NMC registrant. Consideration will be given to applicants who have an appropriate degree and only hold a nursing Diploma. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) will be considered in line with professional body requirements (NMC, 2022), consequently an inclusive approach to recruitment, selection and progression will be adopted to ensure underrepresentation is considered. Students who do not meet these requirements must satisfy the university that by virtue of their professional standing, qualification and training they are fit to register for and to benefit from their proposed programme of study. This would include evidence of recent successful modular study at level 6 or above. The student must be able to evidence sponsorship or secondment from a 0-19 service provider (NHS Trust or equivalent employer) within a community / primary health care setting providing school nursing (SN) for the duration of the award. If students are self-funded, they must secure an appropriate and approved school nurse placement and confirmation that the proposed 0-19 years public health practice provider can, and will, support practice learning (with an appropriately qualified practice assessor and supervisor). ielts 7
