POSTGRADUATE CERTIFICATE

About the Programme The PG Certificate – Medical/surgical pathway 3 is a very practically based programme. It provides registered nurses with an opportunity to advance their clinical practice-based skills underpinned by current evidence based theoretical knowledge and professional guidelines that apply to medical and/or surgical patient care contexts. Students described the first module (research) as very valuable in developing their ability to critically appraise research and its application to nursing practice as well as to each module that was undertaken thereafter. Following the last module students felt that it “empowered” them to manage more effectively the moral challenges they encountered in every day clinical practice. Course Delivery The structure of the programme delivery is blended which incorporates a mixture of online and some face-to-face classroom sessions (2 full days and 6 half days in college (5 days full time equivalent)). This provides greater flexibility and allows students to work at their own pace.
