We would like your feedback on the Draft Public Health Nursing Education Programme Standards and Requirements.

We are holding a public consultation to inform the development of the third edition of the standards and requirements for public health nursing education programmes. The draft document aims to provide guidance to education bodies and their practice partners on the delivery of public health nursing education programmes. It aims to ensure that graduates of this programme continue to provide a high level of care within the community and primary care settings.

The standards and requirements have been revised in line with best practice and in consideration of the many changes and challenges facing healthcare and the role of the Public Health Nurse, including changes in healthcare policy as outlined in Sláintecare.

The draft document is now available for your feedback through a short survey. Your contribution to the consultation process is important and we would appreciate your participation.

You can read the draft document here and then take part in the consultation.

The consultation is open for responses until 5pm on Thursday, 22 June 2023
