Education Gold Coast introduces School Of Nursing And Midwifery - Deakin University in Burwood, for all your education and learning needs.
The School of Nursing and Midwifery at Deakin University is one of the largest schools of nursing in Australia and is based across three of the University's four campuses: Melbourne Campus at Burwood, Geelong Waterfront Campus and Warrnambool Campus.
The School is committed to providing excellent courses that reflect current trends and evidence-based practice in nursing and midwifery.
The School is committed to a problem-solving experiential approach to the education of undergraduate students. This includes the Bachelor of Nursing and three unique combined degree courses: Bachelor of Nursing / Bachelor of Midwifery, Bachelor of Nursing / Bachelor of Public Health and Health Promotion, and Bachelor of Nursing / Bachelor of Applied Science (Psychology). The School's postgraduate offerings continue to be focussed on collaborative work-based arrangements with hospitals. Courses offered include graduate diplomas and graduate certificates in critical care, cardiac care, intensive care, emergency care, perioperative nursing, and midwifery.
The school also houses the Faculty Professional Development Unit. This Unit provides educational learning packages by distance learning, which underpin nursing and health professional practice and provide a step-by-step approach to gaining a postgraduate qualification.
The building of our research profile is a priority and the School has many formal and informal links with hospitals and other agencies in both research and consultancy activities. Exciting developments over recent years have seen the establishment of partnership arrangements and the appointment of clinical chairs with major healthcare providers. These include The Alfred Hospital, Barwon Health, Cabrini Health, Eastern Health, Epworth Hospital, Northern Health, Southern Health and Uniting Care Community Options.
The establishment of clinical chair positions has facilitated and strengthened the School’s research focus in a research priority area that focuses on quality and patient safety.
