About Return to Practice, RTP - at Swansea University

Return to Practice: Module Code SHG367 delivered at level 6.

The Return to Practice course prepares nurses to return to their field of nursing care in today’s dynamic and challenging clinical areas and enables nurses whose registration has lapsed to return to practice. 

We have an outstanding reputation for nursing at Swansea and are ranked in the Top 10 in UK for Nursing (Times Good University Guide 2024).

Who should apply?

This is a stand-alone module which leads to NMC registration for nurses who have previously held registration with the NMC or who have not satisfied the requirements for readmission or revalidation practice hours in order to maintain registration.

The module aims to prepare nurses to re-enter clinical practice with the skills, knowledge and proficiency required in contemporary practice within their chosen field of nursing (adult, child, mental health or learning disability) in order to maintain safe and effective standards of care.
