Course Description

The Graduate Certificate in Practice Nursing is designed for registered nurses working within general practice. 

You will study the sociological, economic and political aspects of general practice, as well as foster best practice principles in relation to clinical nursing practice within the general practice context.

The program has been developed in association with divisions of general practice and practice nurses both nationally and internationally and has a strong emphasis on clinical skills development and decision-making within general practice.
