Overview
The Open University Level 4 Certificate of Higher Education in Healthcare Practice is delivered by SRC in partnership with the Southern Health and Social Care Trust (SHSCT). While this course is delivered as a standalone qualification, it also provides the equivalence of Stage 1 of the Open University Nursing Degree and may allow progression to Stage 2 with the SHSCT (further details in the progression section).
This exciting and challenging course is currently delivered as a one-year full-time course on both our Lurgan and Newry campuses. As a full-time student, you will attend College one day per week and will benefit from state-of-the-art healthcare simulation suites and learning spaces designed to develop the knowledge, skills and values needed to work effectively in a modern healthcare environment. Extra simulation and skills days will be added throughout the course.
In addition, you will be required to complete 770 hrs of practice. This will consist of up to 22 hours per week of unpaid supernumerary status, with tutors providing other opportunities to complete the hours. You may be required to find additional opportunities to complete your clinical practice hours (this shall be discussed with your tutors during induction).
A compulsory induction programme shall take place from 11th – 29th September 2023 at Lurgan campus (approx. 10am-4pm each day, Monday – Thursday).
