Course summary

District nurses make a difference every day to the lives of the people they visit at home or in a homely setting. This course will allow you to gain the level of knowledge and skills required for advanced practice and to work in the community in a district nursing capacity.

The course leads to a Specialist Practitioner Qualification with the NMC. It is delivered both full and part-time with start dates in September each year and is part of our Person-Centred Practice Framework.

Why QMU?

Specialist qualification: The course is validated and approved by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and leads to a Specialist Practitioner Qualification which is recordable on the NMC register.

Contemporary, creative and interactive learning approaches: The learning environment will generate an ethos of engagement where learners can explore and challenge theories, practices and different sources of knowledge creatively in an atmosphere of high challenge and high support.

Staff expertise and support: You will be taught by a team of academic staff who have clinical experience and expertise in district and community nursing, with many of the team annotated as SPQ DN on the NMC register. They have experience in senior strategic and clinical roles. Academic staff with the DN qualification act as Academic Assessors in line with NMC requirements for student supervision and assessment.

Our reputation: We have a reputation at QMU for innovative curriculum design, being supportive and responsive to learners and extensive online resources.

Relevance: Our conceptualization of person-centredness is consistent with the WHO Framework of ‘integrated people-centred healthcare’
