Has your NMC Registration lapsed? Do you wish to return to Nursing or Midwifery after a career break?
NHS Fife and Robert Gordon University are working In partnership, to welcome nurses and midwives whose registration has lapsed to return to practice by providing a short course which is fully funded when candidates successfully join this collaborative employment model. The course will prepare nurses and midwives for re-joining the NMC register and enable them to return to practice in a safe and confident manner.
For nurses and midwives this is a unique opportunity where individuals can undertake this course which will be delivered by a 7 week theory block that will be utilised to prepare you for placement and for academic study.
The theory will mostly be provided in an online format with some face to face skills sessions. Clinical placement will be arranged in a relevant area of your field of nursing practice depending on vacancies within NHS Fife and midwives will have placements across all aspects of maternity care.
Practice hours can be completed via a full or part time route and placement hours will be negotiated depending on length of lapse of registration, previous experience and time as a registered professional. You will be fully supported both in university and in practice areas. Whilst waiting for the Exam Board and Registration, you will be remunerated a Band 4 salary.
On successful completion of the course employment in a band 5 role with NHS Fife is guaranteed where there is a vacancy.
