Course Overview

It will develop problem-solving skills and prepare you to take a leadership role in the community context.

The degree meets the specific requirements set by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) for community nursing competence. The NMC states that to achieve specialist practitioner status, graduates must have achieved prescribed standards, both core and community-specific. When you successfully complete this practice nursing course, you will have a recordable specialist practice qualification in Community Health Studies Practice Nursing. The first two years of the course are funded by the Welsh Government.

Teaching

Teaching and learning methods include lectures, tutorials, self-directed study, and workshops.

You will complete 40 academic days which run from September to June. Year one requires attendance every Tuesday.

In addition, you will undertake 40 clinical days per year. Ideally, you should be working in a community setting, however, if you are not placements may be negotiated. While in practice, you will be assigned a mentor who will assess your clinical competence.

If you have undertaken the Fundamentals of Community Practice module (30 credits) within the last five years, this can be transferred to the degree.
