Return to Practice (Nursing)
University of LincolnLincoln, United Kingdom
Course overview
This course is aimed at nurses who wish to re-register to the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and return to clinical practice. The national return-to-practice initiative recognises that those returning healthcare professionals have a key role to play in ensuring patients and service users have access to experienced and well-trained care staff equipped with the right skills. With the support of NHS England, practice supervisors, assessors, and academic supervision, we intend to provide you with access to modern facilities to help you identify your individual learning needs, and redevelop your clinical skills and specialist knowledge to re-start your nursing career.
Currently we offer opportunities for those who had been registered within the adult, child, and/or mental health fields of nursing.
