The Rural Urgent Care Nursing Capability Development Program begins with 4 online modules designed specifically to support nurses to feel prepared and confident when working in urgent care. The four core online modules are:
Each module will be approximately 8 hours of self directed and self scheduled learning. They will not be assessed and you will have up to 6 months to complete each module, although we recommend completing within 6 weeks to get the most out of the program.
Due to the incredible demand from nurses working in UCCs, we are temporarily pausing new enrolment applications for this year but we are really looking forward to re-opening these again soon. To maintain a high-quality and personalised program, we have had to make some adjustments to the application process to keep up with this incredible demand. These adjustments ensure learners receive the support they need from us, and that workshops and placements can be attended while the online learning is still fresh in their minds.
Don’t forget, this is a three- year program and there are plenty of places available over the life of the program! We will let you know when applications re-open.
To prepare for the next intake, If you are interested in completing the program, the first step is to identify an appropriate person within your organisation who can support your application to the program. This person should have a leadership responsibility and be able to enable you to succeed in this learning program. Now is a great time to start the conversation so you are ready to start as soon as we open up places.
