Our course values are rooted in a commitment to practice excellence and professional development. We aim to equip our students with the capabilities to deliver a safe, holistic and person-centred service.
The CPD framework is designed to meet the continuing professional development needs of the post-registration healthcare workforce. It allows health professionals to accumulate credits towards post-registration academic awards and develop specialist knowledge and understanding.
Several of these courses are co-produced by NTU and senior clinical experts from Nottingham University Hospitals Trust. This co-delivery of education will enable learners to benefit from both clinical and academic expertise, providing a collaborative approach to professional development.
