Educational Aims of the Course
This Negotiated Work Based Learning Certificate of Professional Development is designed to provide students who are Specialist Community Public Health Nurses (SCPHN) with an opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge to the working environment in relation to widening practice to a new field of specialist practice. The programme aims to enhance skills, knowledge and critical thinking through negotiated learning objectives and career aspirations. This will be negotiated with their practice assessor and supervisor.
Learning Outcomes
Teaching, Learning and Assessment
The programme will be delivered through a combination of lectures and tutorials. Students will also have opportunities to engage in enhanced collaborative learning and knowledge exchange with Specialist Community Public Health Nursing students, via the provision of shared learning experiences.
In addition, students will undertake 50 practice days in the chosen area of widening practice.
The programme is assessed via two elements: a practice-based reflective portfolio and a practice-based essay. The portfolio must be passed to complete the full CPD and achieve the widening practice element.
