Explore the responsibility of a nurse in public health

Some consider Florence Nightingale the founder of modern nursing. Within the scientific community she is credited for initiating nursing training and education programmes, but rarely acknowledged as a social reformer and public health campaigner.

Arguably, public health and the promotion of health and well-being is now at the centre of national and global agendas. This course reflects on the value of nurses as promoters of health.

If you are an experienced nurse wanting or needing to extend the value of nurses as promoters of health, this course is for you.
