Overview

Changes are evident in many aspects of older persons’ health service delivery, with clear changing demographics, and the sophistication of technological, medical, and social advancement. Health and social care services must continue to evolve, and nursing, health and social care professionals must continue respond to the needs of individuals, families, and communities in the provision of older persons’ care and services in the acute, community and long-stay settings.

The aim of this Gerontology Nursing programmes at the Atlantic Technological University is to develop students’ theoretical knowledge, professional values and skills to enable them to plan and implement evidence-based interventions and person-centred approaches for older people across a variety of health and social care contexts.

Career:

This programme will allow graduates to progress in a number of ways. For nurses, having a discipline-specific Master’s will be very beneficial when applying for management positions such as Clinical Nurse Manager (CNM) 1 and 2. It also allows them to progress towards Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) positions, although they would have to have a certain amount of years’ experience to be eligible to apply for these positions.
