The Programme requires Return to Practice students to undertake a minimum of 200 hours of clinical practice in your chosen sphere of practice, which can be undertaken local to their home.
Specialist Community Public Health Nurses will need to undertake part of the placement within your first sphere of practice (if they do not have an active registration). Midwives who also wish to register as a nurse will need to undertake a minimum of 400 hours for dual registration.
The teaching team is drawn from Lecturers and Practice Educators from all fields of Nursing, Midwifery, Specialist Community Public Health Nurses and Service Users.
The theoretical aspect of the module will run alongside your practice placement over 16 weeks.
Practice placement runs concurrently alongside theory and can be undertaken part time. If you have recent, relevant health care experience you may be eligible for accreditation hours – confirmed following discussion with you and your placement provider.
Some placement providers offer paid placements at a Health Care Assistant rate, others offer non-paid placements.
If you are in a non-paid placement you will receive a £1000 bursary.
