Study Practice Nursing • City, University of London

Primary care, or practice nursing, is central to the health and well-being of individuals and communities in providing preventive, treatment and rehabilitation services.

Our programmes at postgraduate and undergraduate level focus on clinical practice, with a strong emphasis on supporting the application of theory, evidence and research.

City’s method of teaching through Simulated Practice means students have the skills and confidence for their placements and work as another member of the professional team. 2:19
