Nursing and Human Sciences
Stand Alone Professional Development Modules
At the School of Nursing, a variety of contemporary practice focused modules have been developed to respond to the educational needs of nurses and other healthcare professionals. Some are in partnership with healthcare institutions, the HSE and both statuary and voluntary sector organisations. We use a variety of teaching and assessment methods to ensure these modules are enjoyable educational experience for participants. All are supported by our online learning environment MOODLE which facilitates student learning during modules. These modules can run specifically for services on request. The School welcomes the opportunity to develop new modules that address the every changing education needs of the health care sector.
