IntroductionContinuing education is a lifelong learning process which takes place after the completion of the basic nursing educationprogramme. It consists of planned learning experiences which are designed to augment the knowledge, skills andattitudes 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 theNursing and Midwifery Board has approved a number of specialist programmes as well as programmes leading to anadditional registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Board. The Nursing and Midwifery Board has developed thispublicationNursing/Midwifery: Career Development. Post Registration Courses, outlining the various post-registrationeducation opportunities for Registered Nurses and Midwives.

The categories of post registration programmes that the Nursing and Midwifery Board approves include:

Post Registration Course Leading to an Additional Registration with the Nursing and Midwifery BoardThese are courses where upon successful completion the nurse/midwife is entitled to register on an additionaldivision of the register. Currently there are five post registration programmes leading to additional registrationwith the Nursing and Midwifery Board.

Post Registration Course Major Awards (Category 11 Approved Courses)Category 2 programmes include a broad range of Major Award Courses excluding those leading to Registrationwith the Board. Specialist programmes are post-registration programmes designed, developed and conductedwith reference to a specific body of knowledge and experience in an area of nursing and midwifery. Suchcourses must satisfy the criteria of An Bord Altranais (1989) in relation to specialist education courses.

Post Registration Courses (Minor, Special and Supplemental Awards)The Nursing and Midwifery Board approves courses that are not major awards comprising minor awards,supplemental awards and special purpose awards. From the 1stSeptember these courses must satisfy thecriteria set out in the Requirements and Standards for Post-Registration Nursing and Midwifery EducationProgrammes - Incorporating the National Framework of Qualifications (An Bord Altranais, 2010).

Structure of this PublicationThe section on Courses per HEI gives a list of courses with the Nursing and Midwifery Board approval in eachof the Higher Education Institutions mentioned.

The section on Post Registration Courses with Major Awards Approved (Category 11 Approved Courses), perSubject 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 ofthe courses not with Major awards from the first section Courses per HEI and further breaks down each ofthese courses as per subject.

Therefore, the same course may appear more than once, for example, neonatal intensive care would appear inboth 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 theregister- Courses with Nursing and Midwifery Board Approval: Based on Individual Division of the Register.

The prospective employer may require thenurse/midwife to undertake such a course.

The duration of the courses is a minimumof 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.
