    Specialist Community Public Health Nursing (Health Visiting) Higher Apprenticeship

    About

    As a graduate of the Specialist Community Public Health Nursing (SCPHN) programme at the University of Northumbria, you will build on your existing nursing knowledge to advance your evidence-based practice.

    You will be able to apply critical thinking and synthesis in your expert learning within the field of health visiting or school nursing. As a postgraduate of this programme, you will be able to:

    • Critically analyse and address health and social needs in collaboration with people who use services, specific client groups, families, and communities within the context of promoting health and wellbeing and coordinating specialist care provision.
    • Transform and promote effective inter-professional, evidence-based practice, with a strategic approach to organisational and governance procedures. You will be able to promote health promotion and advanced practice through audit, research, and other forms of evidence in practice, evaluating and disseminating research findings to improve population health and wellbeing.
    • Assess and judge risk for children, young people and families in diverse and complex situations, leading care through interagency and multi-disciplinary collaborative approaches, including families.
    • Promote and advance population health with flexible and critical approaches to practice within the context of local, national and, where relevant, international policies.
    • Lead and coordinate care, teams and services being sensitive to conflicting priorities and ambiguous situations, demonstrating an ability to prioritise needs and delegate care or service provisions when in the best interest of the child, young person, family, or community.
    • Formulate strategies to develop your own lifelong learning, professional curiosity, and critical enquiry to advance your own practice, as well as the practice of others.
    • Facilitate, initiate, manage, and evaluate innovation and sustainable change management strategies and policies within your speciality to improve access to the service, improving partnership working, service user experiences and the provision of care to children, young people, families, and communities.
