EVALUATION OF THE ACCELERATED POSTGRADUATE NURSE PILOT PROGRAMME

The evaluation will be focused on the learning from the delivery of this educational programme and its potential application to future delivery of postgraduate nursing education. It will work with a network of stakeholders and the cohort of students distributed across separate learning disability and mental health nursing programmes at three universities; Edge Hill, University of Hertfordshire, and Kings College. There were 40 students who commenced the programme - 30 studying Mental Health Nursing and 10 to become registered Learning Disability Nurses. The cohorts of 10 are studying in London (Kings), Edge Hill (Edge Hill University), Hertfordshire and Southampton (both delivered through University of Hertfordshire).
