Course summary

The gerontological nursing strand will promote standards for safe effective care for service users and facilitate nursing postgraduate students to develop a critical awareness of issues and challenges linked to gerontological healthcare as a distinct entity.

Gerontological nursing as a core specialist and as an additional strand to the current M.Sc. in Nursing: Specialist Nursing is supportive of and aligns with both the School of Nursing and Midwifery’s and the wider College’s strategic plans of strengthening community, building valuable partnerships, and engaging wider society.
