Education and training in the UK for nurses
Health Professionals offers career development for just about any nursing job... including Theatre, ITU, Oncology, Cardiology, and palliative care.
The UK Nursing Profession takes continuing education extremely seriously, which means that the UK has the highest quality of health professionals - maintaining the reputation of UK hospitals and nurses the world over.
Most hospitals and healthcare organisations offer either in-house education programmes, or will fund further study off-site. London hospitals will often pay for time off as well as course fees. The introduction of PREP (a system where nurses keep a record of further education and courses to ensure continuing registration with the NMC) ensures that hospitals provide the necessary higher education to ensure that their nurses meet and exceed the PREP requirements.
Health Professionals is involved in innovative schemes that enable nurses to gain experience and education in other specialist areas. Such training, for example, could result in moving from a general qualification, to say, a paediatric registration, a degree or masters award.
