Introduction
This 20 credit Return to Practice programme is for qualified nurses (adult, child, mental health and learning disabilities) and SCPHN who have lapsed registration and wish to return to practice and re-register with the NMC.
Provision of Return to Practice (RTP) is an employer-led model with places commissioned by Health Education South West (HeSW).
Now that government guidelines placing restrictions on how students meet and learn at university have ended, the Return to Practice (Nursing) programme has adopted a more blended approach to its theory teaching and learning practices. This means that the course is now delivered using a mix of both face-to-face and online teaching.
The theory part of this level 6 (undergraduate level) programme runs over six consecutive weeks with sessions being held both face-to-face and online. The face-to-face sessions are scheduled for a full day (09:00-16:30), with the online sessions taking place on a Monday and Friday morning (there may however be slight amendments to this to allow for public holidays and other specific restrictions) between 09:00 and 12:30. However, the course itself has a duration of either approximately four or eight months.
You will commence your practice placement, undertaking a total of 450 hours of practice; you can do this either full or part time to suit your personal circumstances and this will be discussed at your healthcare organisation interview. The difference in time frame for completion (four or eight months) of the course is to allow for flexibility in individual circumstances. It is only after successful completion of the whole course (theory, placement, assessment) that you can be recommended for registration with the NMC. We have three intakes a year for this programme, starting in January, May, or September.

Learning and Teaching
The theory part of the programme is designed to support RTP students in updating their knowledge and skills on contemporary nursing practice. The theoretical aspect of the programme is run alongside a practice placement where returnees will complete practice competencies that meet the NMC outcomes that are required to be eligible to return to practice; these are:-
In addition to the practice outcomes, you will be required to pass an Objective Structured Clinical Examination or OSCE at level 3. You will also need to compile a professional portfolio of evidence and pass a numeracy assessment to complete the programme.
Study facilities
The College of Health, Science and Society has an excellent reputation for the quality of its teaching and the facilities it provides.
