Course summary

Our PGCert Clinical Community Nursing combines Non-medical Prescribing (NMP) and Advanced Clinical Examination (ACE). This will enable you to develop clinical examination skills which will complement your NMP qualification. Community nurses work with adults of all ages and communities. They work across many different organisations and settings. These include: Primary care Social care Third sector organisations Hospitals (including mental health) Hospices Prisons Other community services Community nurses ensure that patients receive the right care, at the right time, every time. On our course, you'll develop skills that promote autonomous practice. You'll also develop critical thinking and evidence-based practice. Community nurses work independently, and with others, to deliver care in line with agreed plans. They will have a wide breadth of knowledge and a flexible, portable skill set to serve local health populations. The two modules that make up the PG Certificate are the NMP and ACE modules. The NMP module consists of 13 taught days, 13 directed study days and 90 clinical hours. The ACE module consists of 8 taught days. You'll have a variety of learning opportunities including live lectures, group seminars, practical clinical skills work and directed study.
