Overview

Public health nurses play an essential role in promoting and safeguarding the public’s health. This includes encouraging healthy lifestyles to reduce the risk of illness, supporting individuals with long-term conditions, and preventing disease through immunisation or screening interventions.

Students gain an in-depth theoretical understanding of public health and its challenges, along with the ability to critically analyse epidemiological data and assess community health needs. You will also learn to evaluate health promotion and disease prevention strategies, ensuring these initiatives are evidence-based and effective.

The Public Health Nursing programme at Queen Margaret University Online strongly emphasises research proficiency, fostering critical thinking and strategic planning skills. This solid foundation not only prepares students for advanced practice but also equips them with the tools needed to pursue doctoral-level studies, should they choose an academic research path.
