Principles of Primary and Community Care - Module NS6034

Healthcare is changing, with more care moving into the community to reduce pressure on hospitals and improve access to services. This 12-week, Level 9 micro-credential supports registered nurses, midwives and allied healthcare professionals to understand the evolving role of primary and community care.  

You’ll explore how integrated, person-centred services can meet the needs of individuals, families and communities while also reducing hospital admissions.    

You’ll learn about different models of primary healthcare, explore both global and national approaches, and examine how social factors affect people’s health. You’ll also look at practical ways to improve equity and wellbeing in the communities you work with.  

Whether you're already working in the community or preparing to move into a new role, this micro-credential will help you build the skills and confidence to support people where they live. 

This module is associated with Nursing - MSc, and Advanced Healthcare Practice - MSc. It can be taken as a standalone micro-credential or as part of a pathway to a larger award.
