Nursing and Midwifery Continuing Education
In today's rapidly changing environment, it is essential for all professionals to keep up to date with new developments in terms of knowledge and skills in their area of specialisation. Professional development is no longer an option, but an essential element for successful performance.
Like other professionals, registered nurses and midwives are continuously faced with challenges in their area of work. For nurses and midwives to be able to continue to add value to their core business of providing high quality care, it is essential that they embrace opportunities to learn and to translate their learning into action.
The continuing education courses offered by the School of Nursing & Midwifery provide a solid foundation for nurses to acquire advanced skills and knowledge in a number of specialty areas.
These courses aim to enable registered nurses and midwives to operate effectively and to make better decisions. Each course comprises interactive, stimulating presentations by experts in the subject. Practical sessions and workshops are designed to impart valuable concepts and tools which registered nurses and midwives can apply in their workplace. The courses are conducted in a supportive environment which facilitates the participation of midwives and registered nurses in advancing their opinions and ideas.
