The Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) Specialist Community Nursing course gives you the opportunity to develop and demonstrate knowledge, understanding and skills in community nursing. It is designed to support professionals to establish skills and strategies necessary to promote health and well-being in partnership with individuals and groups in a variety of community settings. It fulfils the professional standards for the education and preparation of specialist community practitioners developed by the UKCC [2001] and is endorsed by the Nursing and Midwifery Council.
As a District Nurse you play a crucial role in the primary healthcare team. They visit people in their own homes or in residential care homes, providing increasingly complex care for patients and supporting family members. As well as providing direct patient care, you’ll have a teaching and support role, working with patients to enable them to care for themselves or with family members teaching them how to give care to their relatives. You will play a vital role in keeping hospital admissions and readmissions to a minimum and ensuring that patients can return to their own homes as soon as possible. You will be expected to work in partnership and liaise with the multi-disciplinary/multi-agency team.
