Practice Nursing CPD Gateway
Immunisation |
Immunisation is second only to clean water in its benefits to public health. This module introduces the basic principles of immunisation practice and focuses on core areas of importance for nurses working in general practice: influenza, pneumococcal, HPV, tuberculosis, and measles, mumps and rubella. |
Diabetes |
The prevalence of diabetes is rising and growing demand for care closer to patients' homes is increasing the importance of the practice nurse's role in long-term management. This module will help you review and update your knowledge in assessment and diagnosis, first-line drug treatment, diet and weight management, and foot care. Additional units are coming soon. |
Dermatology Educational partner |
Up to 15% of general practice consultations are for skin disorders, and practice nurse prescribers issue more scripts for a wider range of skin products than nurses in other settings. Whether you prescribe or not, this module enables you to review and update your knowledge of assessment and treatment of common skin conditions including acne, eczema, psoriasis and genital warts. |
COPD |
COPD can severely impair patients' physical health and wellbeing, and practice nurses with the required skills and experience can make a substantial contribution to improving quality of life. This module introduces the basics of spirometry testing and provides guidance on how to help patients get the best use from inhaled therapy and prevent exacerbations. |
Wound Care |
Wound care is a central part of the practice nurse’s role and the wound management being provided by nurses in general practice is becoming more complex. This module will help you refresh and update your knowledge of the basic principles and evidence-based practice in wound assessment and management. |
