The draft document aims to provide guidance to education bodies (EBs) and their practice partners on the delivery of the 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.

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, for example to reflect 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. 

Please note that the consultation closes at 5pm on Thursday, 22 June 2023.
