Overview

Working in the community, district nurses lead nursing teams to provide care and support for patients with a variety of acute and long-term health conditions.

Many employers require nurses in team leadership roles to hold the district nurse qualification.

An opportunity to take your career to the next level, you'll build your leadership skills and play a more strategic role in how care is delivered in the community. Specialist Practice (District Nursing) is offered at UWE Bristol (University of the West of England) .

Career:

MSc Specialist Practice: District Nursing is a professional practice course for registered adult nurses working in the community, aspiring to move into team leader grade roles.

NHS employers increasingly require band 6 community nurses to hold the NMC recordable specialist practice qualification (SPQ) in district nursing, as well as the independent/supplementary prescribing qualification. You'll achieve both these qualifications by successfully completing the course to PGDip level.
