世界各地的护士站在医疗保健和社会护理服务创新与发展的最前沿。在满足循证医学实践和在动态环境中工作以确保为其患者提供最佳质量结果的同时，护士对技术和角色变化方面的进步提出了越来越高的要求。在当前的国际流动氛围中，与各种文化的人们进行有效合作的能力已变得至关重要，因为医疗保健的提供可能会与患者的文化信仰，标准和实践发生冲突。理学硕士护理研究（国际）课程是一个理论重点课程，专门为国际学生而设，旨在发挥高级实践作用。该奖项的目标是培养能够积极参与终身学习，能够与各种文化，信仰和习俗的人有效合作，评估循证实践和文献
Nurses worldwide are at the forefront of innovation and development in health and social care delivery. There are increasing demands on nurses to cope with advances in technology and role change whilst drawing on evidence-based practice and working in dynamic environments to ensure the best-quality outcomes for their patients. In the current climate of international mobility, the ability to work effectively with people of varied cultures has become essential, as healthcare delivery may conflict with patients cultural beliefs, standards and practices. The MSc Nursing Studies (International) is a theoretically focused programme, developed specifically for the international student working towards an advanced practice role. The vision for this Award is to develop nurses/midwives who are able to actively engage in lifelong learning, work effectively with people of varied cultures, beliefs and practices and evaluate evidence-based practice and literature to inform, advance and lead practice and service delivery. Through the use of face to face teaching, alongside technology enabled learning, the Award will provide a rich learning environment and opportunity for exchange of perspectives and experiences on many levels for international students, not just culturally but also around service developments and the challenges for nursing care delivery. Furthermore, the Award will provide a diverse and enriching opportunity for students, as part of a nursing/midwifery community of practitioners, to examine barriers to health care. By advancing and facilitating levels of strategic thinking, debate, criticality and analysis, the Award will impact on students area of practice, professional role and provide the necessary knowledge to underpin developments in nursing/midwifery.
