5 Introduction Continuing education is a lifelong learning process which takes place after the completion of the basic nursing education programme. It consists of planned learning experiences which are designed to augment the knowledge, skills and attitudes of registered nurses for the enhancement of nursing practice, education, administration and research. A registered nurse or midwife might wish to pursue further education. Many such opportunities are available and An Bord has approved a number of specialist programmes as well as programmes leading to an additional registration with An Bord. An Bord has developed this publication Nursing/Midwifery: Career Development. Post Registration Courses, outlining the various post-registration education opportunities for Registered Nurses and Midwives. The categories of post registration programmes that An Bord approves include: Post Registration Course Leading to an Additional Registration with An Bord These are courses where upon successful completion the nurse/midwife is entitled to register on an additional division of the register. Currently there are five post registration programmes leading to additional registration with An Bord. Post Registration Course Major Awards (Category 11 Approved Courses) Category 2 programmes include a broad range of Major Award Courses excluding those leading to Registration with the Board. Specialist programmes are postregistration programmes designed, developed and conducted with reference to a specific body of knowledge and experience in an area of nursing and midwifery. Such courses must satisfy the criteria of An Bord (1989) in relation to specialist education courses. Post Registration Courses (Minor, Special and Supplemental Awards) An Bord approves courses that are not major awards comprising minor awards, supplemental awards and special purpose awards. From the 1 st these courses must satisfy the criteria set out in the Requirements and Standards for Post-Registration Nursing and Midwifery Education Programmes - Incorporating the National Framework of Qualifications (An Bord, 2010). Structure of this Publication The section on Courses per HEI gives a list of courses with An Bord approval in each of the Higher Education Institutions mentioned. The section on Post Registration Courses with Major Awards Approved (Category 11 Approved Courses), per Subject takes each of the courses with Major awards from the previous section and further breaks down each of these courses as per subject. The section on Post Registration Courses (Minor, Special and Supplemental Awards), per subject takes each of the courses not with Major awards from the first section Courses per HEI and further breaks down each of these courses as per subject. Therefore, the same course may appear more than once, for example, neonatal intensive care would appear in both the section on neonatology and in the section dealing with intensive care. There is a quick reference page to determine which courses you can apply for if you are on a specific part of the register- Courses with An Bord Approval: Based on Individual Division of the Register.

30 RETURN TO PRACTICE COURSES Introduction The Return to Practice courses are provided to enable nurses/midwives returning to practice to update both their theoretical knowledge and their clinical skills and to facilitate the attainment of competence and confidence in the provision of nursing/midwifery care. The courses include both theoretical instruction and supervised clinical practice. The Scope of Nursing and Midwifery Practice Framework (An Bord, April 2000-a) and The Code of Professional Conduct for Each Nurse and Midwife (An Bord, April 2000-b) emphasise the need for nurses/midwives to be competent and accountable for their practice. The prospective employer may require the nurse/midwife to undertake such a course. The duration of the courses is a minimum of six weeks full-time (or twelve weeks part-time if available). Individual participants may require a longer period of supervised clinical practice. Further Information: Centres for Nurse/Midwife Education. Refer p28 of this publication.
