Postgraduate Diploma in Advanced Nursing

he Programme is designed for experienced registered nurses working in different specialties in the provision of health care. They have to study on a part-time self-directive basis, where the selected teaching and learning strategies will address this characteristic. Teaching strategies include lectures, seminars, small group tutorials, laboratory demonstrations and practices, discussions, and case studies. The subjects also adopt multimedia strategies, e-learning approaches, and clinical field observation and practice with endeavours to facilitate the integration of theoretical knowledge into clinical practice.

Another key feature of the Programmes is the practicum subject which provides a platform for students to apply the advanced practising nurses' roles into the respective area of expertise. Students will develop their own learning objectives which are consistent with their specialty subject objectives. The written contract should address individually defined professional goals, supporting resources, and actions/activities that facilitate the achievement of established objectives as well as outcomes evaluation. Experienced nursing specialists in the field will be invited to act as preceptors to facilitate students’ up-to-date practice, while critically examining the development of current practices.
