A new course designed to attract former nurses back into the profession is being launched at Sheffield Hallam University.
The Return to Practice scheme is a part-time course that prepares for the re-registration of nurses who have been disconnected from the healthcare sector for no more than 10 years.
Approved by the Nursing and Midwifery Council and in conjunction with Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, the course looks at current practice, legislation and policies, record keeping and safeguarding as well as time spent on placement.
Students will also be able to redevelop their clinical skills and their specialist knowledge to update their learning in line with current healthcare guidelines.
There are 20 places on the four-month course which starts in February 2015 and if successful, the course will be rolled out to other trust areas.
Two open days are being held at the Northern General Hospital on 5th June and 15th July, 10am – 2pm where staff from both Sheffield Hallam’s Faculty of Health and Wellbeing and Sheffield Teaching Hospitals will be available to provide more information.
