Specialist Practice (District Nursing) - BSc(Hons)
Why study district nursing?
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 have a recognised district nurse qualification.
An opportunity to move your career to the next level, it's also a chance to build your leadership skills and play a more strategic role in how care is delivered in your community.
Why UWE Bristol?
BSc(Hons) Specialist Practice (District Nursing) is a professional practice programme for registered adult nurses working in the community and aspiring to move into team leader grade roles.
Once you have completed the honours programme, you will be eligible to claim the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) specialist practitioner qualification in District Nursing.
With outstanding onsite facilities, and a 50/50 split between theory and practice-based learning, you'll gain the strong academic and practical grounding you need to practise competently and confidently as a district nurse.
Learn from a highly experienced team of community nurses at UWE Bristol, with a depth of knowledge across many areas, including advanced clinical practice, research and education.
Develop strong skills in decision-making, critical thinking and leadership, and be equipped to lead teams effectively and confidently, and to plan and evaluate care in complex and unpredictable contexts.
Highly relevant to the changing landscape of community nursing, the course will deepen your understanding of current issues, and help you take a more strategic and political view of the care you and your teams provide drawing on policies, literature and evidence that influence your care delivery.
We place a strong focus on nurturing positive relationships with team members and other colleagues, disciplines and agencies, and working in partnership with service users and carers to develop user and family-centred holistic care.
Completing the course full or part-time alongside your work, and studying at a pace that suits you and your organisation, you'll put what you learn into practice in your work, supported by your own mentor.
You'll graduate as a reflective, highly confident practitioner, able to question and challenge practice, and well equipped to lead and manage teams of nurses to provide effective evidence-based care.
