The University of Central 懂阴帝 (UCB) are keen to engage with Managers that would like their Registered Nurses to undertake the MSc apprenticeship as soon as possible to help them enrol staff for courses starting in 2025.
If you could be a practice partner or support the programme in anyway, e.g. specialist teaching sessions, then UCB would also like to hear from you too.
This programme will be an excellent choice for Registered Nurses working across health and social care environments, to achieve an SPQ qualification, mapped to the 4 Pillars of Advanced Practice. The modules are specialist, co-developed with our stakeholder groups to provide specialist knowledge, support advanced skill development specifically for Registered Nurses working in adult social care and homeless and inclusion health environments.
