Programme Description
This programme aims to offer first level registered nurses access to specialist pathways of Public Health and Occupational Health Nursing. On meeting the Standards of Proficiency for SCPHN (NMC 2004), they will be eligible to apply to enter the third part of the Nursing, Midwifery and Specialist Community Public Health Nursing Professional Register. The programme will provide continued personal and professional development in a career of lifelong learning, preparing practitioners as part of the wider public health workforce, to meet the current and future challenges related to public health.
Programme Structure
This programme enables first level registered nurses to undertake study at an appropriate SCQF level to acquire knowledge, skills and attributes which are commensurate with safe and effective specialist community public health nursing practice. In line with NMC requirements, these programmes consist of 50% theory and 50% practice and entrants may undertake full-time study over one calendar year, or part-time study, normally over two calendar years. On entry to one of the SCPHN pathways listed below, each student will index with NHS Education for Scotland as undertaking a programme of study leading to the award of one of the following Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) registerable specialist community public health nursing qualifications: Occupational Health Nursing Public Health Nursing (Health Visiting/School Nursing)

There are six modules to complete which are mainly assessed through essay work.
In the second year, there is an exam and dissertation to complete. Students must also complete a Practice Learning Plan while in practice over the whole programme.
