University of Melbourne Practice Nurse course

The University of Melbourne, Department of General Practice has invested in practice nurses by developing the Certificate/Diploma of Primary Care Nursing delivered by distance education.

The format supports nurses who often have busy lives or with limited access to educational facilities in rural areas. It has been developed by experienced practice nurses and general practitioners to suit the needs of general practice nurses in areas (chronic disease, risk management, health promotion, women’s health, mental health and youth health) that will complement previous experience and expand your scope of practice. Spaces are available for second semester 2010.
