The Graduate Certificate of Older Person Nursing Care is designed for nurses working with older people and their families in residential aged care, community, and sub-acute or geriatric care settings. As a student of this course, you will build upon your clinical knowledge and skills in this area of specialised practice. Delivered online and studied part-time over one year, the course draws on contemporary research and evidence to support you in advocating for residents and patients, and in leading within extended care environments. The curriculum is underpinned by person-centred and family-centred models of care, reflecting best practice in aged care and addressing the increasing complexity and acuity of the ageing population. It also integrates safety and quality standards as it explores the healthcare needs of older people, their families, and the broader community. |
