About the programme
Course information and programme details
Courses:
These courses provide registered nurses with the opportunity to exit with a Postgraduate Certificate in Neurological Rehabilitation and Care, or progress onto the MSc Advanced Nursing.
This PgCert enables nurses the opportunity to return to educational study whilst working clinically, to benefit from current theory, practice, research and innovation in nursing, health and social care practice, and to develop a critical understanding of contemporary health care with a specific focus in Neurological Rehabilitation.
The programme will equip you to start developing knowledge and skills to be a critically reflective practitioner, able to provide evidence-based practice in both a local and international context.
