Health Sciences and Social Services - Curative Health
The instructional programme leads to a qualification that enables a learner to register as a nurse (general, psychiatry, community) or a midwife with the South African Nursing Council, which is the professional organisation controlling and regulating nursing in South Africa.
This qualification is a planned combination of learning outcomes that culminates in the development of an independent nurse practitioner and midwife who will be competent to apply scientific nursing and midwifery skills and technologies in the administration and management of a comprehensive health service based on research findings. The learner intake is to take local and regional health needs into consideration using the step-up approach to increase the numbers as healthcare facilities are for both public and private stakeholders.
