Overview

The programme is designed for nurses and medical practitioners, building on their experience of working with women by applying additional advanced practice skills in diagnostic outpatient hysteroscopy and therapeutic management.

I was a gynaecology cancer nurse specialist and clinic nurse in gynaecology outpatients before my studies. This was an intense course but the content was well taught and the support I received allowed me to get the most out of my learning. I'm currently working in York Teaching Hospital as a nurse hysteroscopist and colposcopist. If you are given the chance to do this programme you should grab it with both hands!
