• In response to the changing needs of educational provision in healthcare practice and stakeholder consultation, the School of Nursing has developed a postgraduate educational framework for nurses and other healthcare practitioners.
  • The Intellectual Disability Nursing Practice programme at Dublin City University includes modules predominantly focused on practice embedded elements.
  • It is anticipated that students will normally be working in an area related to their intended focus of study, e.g recovery oriented practice, the management of long term illness, community/primary care, intellectual disability & concurrent mental health problems, care of the older person or care of the child and adolescent.
  • This programme will support healthcare professionals who wish to further their career in a particular area of practice, e.g. where there are opportunities for developing new services, models and roles, or for specialist and advanced practitioner roles in healthcare provision.
  • It will also help professionals gain valuable postgraduate clinical/practice education, thereby helping them to progress in their chosen career.
