Specialist Community Public Health Nursing/Health Visiting/School Nursing PG Dip

The Specialist Community Public Health Visiting Postgraduate Diploma course is tailored to offer the professional qualification for qualified nurses who wish to gain entry to the Specialist Community Public Health Nursing part of the National Midwifery Council (NMC) register as a School Nurse. The NMC Standards of Proficiency for Specialist Community Public Health Nurses (SCPHN) are now approved and we are re-validating this programme in line with these standards. We will be open for applications to our re-validated programmes in late May 2024. Interested applicants should connect with their chosen Trust and identify King’s College London as their university of choice. Those who already have the SCPHN PGDip qualification can apply for the Specialist Community Public Health Nursing MSc (Part time) programme, which consists of a 60 credit MSc Dissertation module. This option is only available on a self-funded basis (it is not financially supported by Health Education England).
