Return to Practice

CUH is pleased to offer an NMC validated Return to Practice Nursing Programme for both Adult and Child registration.

The course is provided in partnership with Anglia Ruskin University and is for qualified Nurses whose registration with the NMC has lapsed. This is an exciting opportunity for enthusiastic qualified Nurses wishing to return to the nursing profession.

Please note, unfortunately this programme is not suitable for nurses registered overseas wishing to gain NMC registration in the UK.

The Return to Professional Practice for Nursing programme will prepare you for return to today’s workforce by providing education that is both practice and classroom based. It has been validated by the NMC to enable those Practitioners whose nursing registration has lapsed to return to practice with the contemporary skills, knowledge and competence required in the present healthcare climate.
