Professional Nurse Advocate

The Professional Nurse Advocate (PNA) course is aimed at registered nurses (excluding nursing associates) who have an interest in supporting others through the means of change management and leadership. You'll have a desire to improve your clinical supervision skills to support the nursing workforce of the future and retain our established nursing teams. You'll critically analyse the role of the PNA and recognise this in the current strategic context, as well as reflect on your own skills to encourage wider development via several approaches. The course draws upon the Advocating and Educating for Quality Improvement (A-EQUIP) model of professional nursing leadership and restorative clinical supervision. On completion of this short course, you'll apply and implement the skills and knowledge obtained to become a PNA.

This Level 7 postgraduate certificate, worth 20 credits, is for registered nurses on part one of the register who can demonstrate recent Level 6 or 7 study. This does not include nursing associate roles.

All applicants must also complete two modules prior to starting the course via the elearning for healthcare hub(opens in new tab). You'll be required to send verification that you've completed these modules when you submit your application.
