The Career Pathway for General Practice Nursing in Northern Ireland (NIPEC 2018) commissioned by the Public Health Agency identifies the competencies and educational requirements for a range of nursing roles in general practice settings. The School of Nursing at Ulster has developed this particular course for registered nurses who are working as general practice nurses so they can complete a qualification that is aligned with the educational requirements set out in this career pathway. Depending on previous qualifications, students may undertake the general practice course at either undergraduate (Advanced Certificate) or postgraduate (Postgraduate Certificate) level. This course is comprised of two 30-credit modules alongside work-based learning.
