Return to Nursing Practice Programme – 2021
This programme is an exciting collaboration with NHS Highland and Robert Gordon University.
We are now actively recruiting for our Return to Practice Programme which will focus on Adult and Mental Health Nursing with a start date to the academic programme of Monday 6th September 2021.

Nurses leave the profession over time for a variety of reasons, perhaps because of changes in personal circumstance, a career break or something else. This programme will be rewarding, both personally and professionally and gives nurses the opportunity to bring their skills and experience back to the profession and to nursing our patients.
