The course will provide you with the new knowledge, understanding, and skills needed for contemporary district nursing. In addition to meeting the NMC (2001) Standards for Specialist Practitioner District Nurse, the PgDip is also mapped against the Queen's Nursing Institute (QNI) and The Queen's Nursing Institute Scotland (QNIS) Voluntary Standards for District Nurse Education and Practice (QNI/QNIS, 2015) for best practice and demonstrates that the program is preparing you to be equipped to lead and manage current and future district nursing services.
