About the Course

The Graduate Certificate in Advanced Nursing (Perioperative Nursing) offered by the Institute of Health and Management is designed for registered nurses seeking to enhance their expertise in perioperative care. This online course spans 26 weeks and provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles of perioperative nursing, equipping students with the necessary knowledge and skills to deliver client-centred care before, during, and after surgical procedures. The curriculum emphasises a person-centred approach, ensuring that nurses can advocate for and assure the quality and safety of care for patients who may be unable to communicate during surgery.

Throughout the course, students engage in active discussions and case studies, applying theoretical concepts through an evidence-based lens. Key learning areas include the critical review of nursing interventions, the implementation of person-centred care strategies, and the exploration of ethical and medico-legal considerations in diverse cultural contexts. This qualification not only prepares nurses for advanced practice roles but also serves as a pathway to further studies, such as a Master of Nursing degree. Enquire to learn more.
