Course summary

The Community Specialist Practice Qualification (SPQ) programme is designed to equip postgraduates with the skills required for community specialist practice and there are four pathways to choose from: District Nursing, General Practice Nursing, Adult Social Care Nursing and Community Children’s Nursing.The health of most people in society today has been transformed, and most people are living in better health for far longer. Complex conditions that would formerly have been severely debilitating or fatal are now managed largely in the home and community settings as chronic conditions, enabling people to live independently and comfortably (QNI, 2022). We want to welcome you to this specialist practice qualification which will support you to develop your knowledge, skills, and competence to work with adults in social care settings, providing care, leading services and promoting positive changes in practice. We will strive to equip you with the skills to be highly autonomous, whilst working within teams and complex service provision environments. We will support you to be confident in working in partnership with multiple care providers and crossing NHS and social care boundaries.
