Nurse education

Post Registration Education Professional Development

The RNOH accesses annual funding through a contracting arrangement with NHS London and universities in their remit. This funding is managed by the Clinical Placement Facilitator/Post Registration Lead for the Trust.

All registered nurse employees can access courses from these universities via the contract, following review and discussion at their annual appraisal. Some access is also available for Allied Health Professionals following discussion with their manager and Clinical Placement Facilitator/Post Registration Lead for the Trust.

If you have commenced studying for an academic pathway e.g. degree, at a previous Trust, you can discuss continuation of this pathway utilising the Post Registration Contract, with your manager and Clinical Placement Facilitator. Relevant Masters programmes can also be accessed through the Post Registration contract but are 50% funded only.

Contracting requests are gathered from nursing employees and Nurse Managers in August for commencement in the following financial year. For more information please contact:

The RNOH has close links with the London South Bank University, with a part time campus on site and Lecturer Practitioners teaching the Spinal and Orthopaedic modules.

You can undertake individual modules or build a pathway to obtain a degree, developing the skills, under underpinning knowledge and gaining the confidence that you are looking for in these specialist fields.

Pre Registration Nursing

Each Year the RNOH receives Pre Registration nursing students from University of Hertfordshire and Middlesex University for clinical placement and practice education. Mentors in the Trust support and facilitate these students in achieving their learning objectives.

As the Trust is a specialist hospital requests are also received from other Nursing students on Pre Registration Programmes across the country and overseas for elective clinical placements.

Access to Nursing, overseas nursing programmes and return to practice students are also facilitated in the Trust.

Clinical placements are arranged following discussion with the Clinical Placement Facilitator.
