Nursing and Midwifery ONLINE
Nurses and midwives around the world are currently being expected to extend their knowledge and skills beyond basic levels to further develop their practice. The University of Sheffield School of Nursing and Midwifery has adopted a strategy of addressing this issue with postgraduate courses taken via the Internet. Its first entirely online course - The Master of Midwifery - has been running since 2004.
The programme is completely self-contained, with all materials (including journals, databases etc.) provided online, so no-one is disenfranchised by being located far from a centre of academic excellence. Our students appreciate the flexibility of online learning, the opportunity to gain otherwise unattainable qualifications and forming part of a virtual yet vibrant multicultural learning community.
Advantages for Students:
- Allows study anywhere, any time, regardless of work or family commitments
- Employs a flexible and learner-centred approach
- Saves both time and money, with no relocation or travel costs involved
- Offers insight into UK NHS and international working practices
Advantages for Employers:
- Cost-effective way of promoting post-registration development of staff, including those on an advanced specialist career path
- Minimises impact on work time of staff learning activities
- Flexibility of learning allows focus on specific employer requirements
