Surrey is a leading UK university for nursing education – students of our Postgraduate Diploma in Nursing Studies (Adult Nursing) programme are taught by staff with practice experience and expertise. The programme focuses on the importance of caring and compassion and will prepare you to respond to the complex, diverse and evolving nature of healthcare. Our programme offers you the opportunity to gain professional registration in adult nursing, together with an academic postgraduate qualification. It will develop you as an autonomous, reflective practitioner who has empathic qualities, is committed to delivering high-quality care and can empower individuals to maximise their own independence. Clinical, decision-making and leadership skills are developed progressively throughout the programme. Biosciences and psychosocial, spiritual, ethical and legal aspects of care inform a holistic approach to care giving, alongside a strong emphasis on interprofessional learning. In contemporary healthcare, collaborative practice is vital in meeting the complex needs of individuals and their families.
