Overview
The Specialist Community Practitioner (District Nursing) programme offered by the Liverpool John Moores University is made up of a number of core modules which are part of the course framework. Some programmes also have optional modules that can be selected to enhance your learning in certain areas and many feature a dissertation, extended report or research project to demonstrate your advanced learning.
The course’s student-centred approach values prior learning and experience and builds on existing clinical and theoretical knowledge.
Many sessions are co-taught with other community nursing programmes enabling you to gain a better understanding and appreciation of the roles played by, and the challenges faced by, other healthcare specialists.
