Primary and Community Care SPQ Community Children's Nursing with integrated prescribing (V300) PGDip

What you will study

On our Community Children's Nursing with prescribing PGDip course, you’ll study a comprehensive curriculum, which covers a wide range of topics relevant to community and children’s nursing practice. We will teach you how to deliver high-quality evidence-based care to babies, children and young people in the home environment and support carers, families and communities everywhere. 

You will acquire the specialist knowledge, skills and attributes needed to work as a nurse in the community, where more autonomous decision-making is required. Achieving this qualification will give you greater clinical autonomy and encourage independent decision-making and leadership in complex and high-risk situations.
