Primary and Community Care SPQ District Nursing with integrated prescribing (V300) PGDip

What you will study

On our District Nursing with prescribing PGDip course, you’ll study a comprehensive curriculum, which covers a wide range of topics relevant to community and district nursing practice. We will teach you how to deliver high-quality evidence-based care to individuals 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.
