The Professional Nursing and Midwifery Advocate Course
We are looking forward to welcoming you to our Professional Nursing Midwifery Advocate (PNMA) course. Please see below for dates, booking and relevant information.
About the course
The PNMA course will be offered over 12-16 weeks, from day one to submission of summative assessment. There are five online interactive study sessions with a further five directed study days. These cover all aspects, restorative clinical supervision (RCS), quality improvement and the PNMA as a compassionate leader. There is an emphasis on the support of nurses and midwives in practice, building resilience using RCS, demonstrating the importance of having a safe and confidential space allowing time to reflect and make sense of workplace issues. You will develop skills to be an advocate for colleagues, for patients and for the nursing/midwifery profession.
Within the sessions on leadership, you will consider how compassionate leadership promotes effective teams and collective competence. Promoting continuous professional development and supporting the process of revalidation will form part of this element. The course will encourage the ethos of autonomy, belonging, and contribution through learning and understanding the need to be involved in and promote quality improvement.
The course is at level 7 and offers 20 credits on completion. It is facilitated by Lindsey Morgan and Caroline Gibbs.
Course aims
The course aims to equip nurses and midwives with the skills and knowledge to facilitate restorative supervision to colleagues and teams within the profession and beyond. It will develop leadership skills supporting you to be at the forefront of service improvement, delivering quality improvement initiatives in response to service demands and changing service user needs ensuring the provision of safe and effective care.
