The School of Nursing and Midwifery answered the call for funded places under the Government’s July Stimulus Higher Education Initiative. Minister Harris delivered funding for the additional part-time and full-time postgraduate places and modular places. The Post Graduate Certificate in Nursing (Gerontological) and 8 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) modules were on offer under this initiative. Both the Post Graduate Certificate in Nursing (Gerontological) and the CPD modules in the School of Nursing and Midwifery in UCC allowed the learner to be registered on these publicly funded HE courses. Applicants could focus on multiple modular courses if they did not exceed 30 credits. Although a short recruiting time was involved, the School of Nursing and Midwifery received more than 400 applications across the Post Graduate Certificate in Nursing (Gerontological) and the 8 CPD modules. Applicants were mainly nursing, with some pharmacists, speech and language therapists, and occupational therapists. The School of Nursing and Midwifery secured applicants across all 8 modules and the Post Graduate Certificate in Nursing (Gerontological). 150 successful applicants commenced studying with the School of Nursing and Midwifery on the 14th December 2020. Geographically students took up places from across the country, as far as Donegal.
