This programme provides registered nurses with the opportunity to extend their clinical knowledge and skills in a specific area of practice including registered nurse prescribing in primary health and speciality teams. It is delivered through a combination of block courses and online. A candidate may take up to four years to complete this postgraduate diploma. The programme consists of four modules: two core modules and two practise modules covering a range of advanced speciality practice areas. After successfully completing any two postgraduate nursing modules students may choose to exit with the Postgraduate Certificate in Nursing. They ​can then return to complete the postgraduate diploma at a later date provided this is within four years of their first enrolment in the Postgraduate Diploma in Nursing programme.
