Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Public Health (Specialist Community Public Health Nursing)
Program Overview
You will need to secure a secondment opportunity or a studentship, underpinned by a fixed term contract from a Trust prior to applying. For more information, see 'Entry Requirements'.
The BSc(Hons) Public Health course has been designed to create knowledgeable and skilled public health practitioners, are able to work inclusively with client groups across different settings within the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Code of Professional Standards (2018). You'll reflect this knowledge and skill development by demonstrating your achievement of the NMC standards of proficiency for Specialist Community Public Health Nursing (2004).
The NMC standards include 4 key domains which require a practitioner to search for health needs; stimulate an awareness of health needs; influence policies affecting health and facilitate health enhancing activities in different public health settings. The course delivers knowledge and skills linked to the Public Health Knowledge and Skills Framework.
Our course embraces a family/child centred public health role with individuals, families, and populations, focusing on improving health and tackling health inequalities. The approach requires you to work within a dynamic socio-cultural and service provision context across traditional boundaries, networking and developing services in partnership with service users, other professionals, and voluntary workers. This involves the capacity to lead, assess, work collaboratively, evaluate public health provision, and accept responsibility and accountability for the safe, effective, and efficient management of that provision.
This course is for you, if you wish to register on the third part of the NMC register as a Specialist Community Public Health Nurse: Health Visitor, School Nurse, or Occupational Health Nurse. The course requires effective registration on part one (Nursing) or part two (Midwifery) of the NMC register.
Our course aims to prepare specialist community public health nursing (SCPHN) students with the knowledge, skills, and critical abilities to provide leadership and innovation in community health. Our wider goals are to improve population health, in particular the health of children and families, and to prevent illness. SCPHNs graduating from the course will have the community capacity building skills to support the development of fair, inclusive and ever-improving community-based health and well-being services.
You'll need to secure a secondment opportunity or a fixed term-contract from a Trust before you apply. You can find opportunities on the NHS jobs website.
