The award is made up of a variety of modules related to practice nursing including physical assessment, leadership, and triage and minor illness modules, which will equip the student with the necessary skills, knowledge and understanding to take their practice forward.

As the course is 50% theory and 50% practice, the practice element involves working in negotiation with an experienced practice nurse mentor who will give support and direction in achieving the required learning outcomes of the programme.
