Preparation for nursing practice encompasses learning in the spheres of knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours. It is recognised that evidence based knowledge is required for safe and effective nursing practice and as such programme content is driven by the NMC Future Nurse: Standards of proficiency for registered nurses, QAA Academic and Practitioner Standards for nursing alongside the QAA Master’s Degree Characteristics (NMC, 2018; QAA, 2010). The programme builds in terms of academic skill sets, professional responsibility and technical complexity throughout the two years.
