As a health visitor, you will have a crucial role in ensuring that people have the best possible start in life. This course provides registered nurses and midwives with the opportunity to become a specialist community public health visitor on the third part of the Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC) register. Combining both theory-based and practice-based learning, you will examine the complexities of delivering health and social care services, especially in relation to professional health visiting. You will develop the confidence and expertise to be able to take on leadership roles, influencing and implementing public health policies that will help children, young people and families improve their life chances. Visit the Men into Nursing Together Twitter page MINTnursing for information on this initiative. You'll have a close partnership with your assessor and supervisor, and will develop in practice through leadership, multi-disciplinary working, implementing public health policies and influencing practice. You will also have the opportunity to progress to our MSc, which incorporates a dissertation, systematic review or work based study, and offers you the opportunity to pursue research as a scholarly activity and influence practice.
