The Catherine McAuley School of Nursing and Midwifery is now providing a range of non-degree Continuing Professional Development (CPD) modules for registered nurses and midwives and allied health professionals. The provision of non-degree  CPD modules allows for flexibility in learning such that you can take one or more module(s) in any given year. These CPD modules are designed to benefit your clinical practice and ultimately the individual and families you care for.  Students who successfully complete CPD modules may be eligible for exemption from some modules in our existing BSc (Nursing Studies) degree and Postgraduate Certificate/Diploma programmes, if later registered for these programmes.
