Overview

Community Specialist Practitioner (District Nursing) (Part-Time) at Northumbria University has been innovatively designed and coproduced with a vast range of stakeholders from all pathway routes in both health and social care, to truly reflect contemporary specialist practice, need and service provision requirements.

What you'll learn

District Nursing services continue to deliver highly specialised person-centred care within the heart of local communities, offering the continuity and personalisation which is valued so highly by the people we care for, their careers and families (NHS England, 2019). Our aim is for this pathway to equip you with the skills and knowledge to take your community nursing practice to the next level, building on your previous experiences to confront the distinct challenges of providing increasingly complex care closer to home within diverse socioeconomic populations. You will develop advanced clinical assessment skills, supporting you to make evidence-based decisions and deliver exceptional standards of care. As an expert in your field, you’ll also consider your unique approach to leadership and your potential to positively influence those around you. Doing so will leave you well placed to make a lasting impact on the health and lives of the communities you care for.

Each pathway has a distinct approach to its delivery; however, all share a more practice focused delivery, with a 60/40 split between clinical practice and protected learning time at Northumbria University respectively. This ensures that the specialist field of practice focuses on the specialist skills required for the pathway and is evident in the optional modules and as pathway-focused learning and teaching across all modules.
