Presentation
Nowadays, families are faced with significant changes in their structure, organisation and functional dynamics, which have a lasting effect on their health processes.
In this context, the Master’s Degree Course in Community Nursing in the Family Health Nursing Area is a training response in the nursing area due to the new demands faced by families, an area that deserves to be served by highly qualified professionals.
Through benchmark training, leading to a Master’s Degree in Community Nursing in the Family Health Nursing area, according to the choices made by the students, the conditions for the attribution of the Professional Title of Specialist Nurse in the area by the Portuguese Nursing Association are simultaneously assured. It thus contributes to providing primary healthcare, particularly in Family Health Units, with specialised resources in the area of family nursing, in accordance with the recommendations of point 1(e) of Order No. 200/2016, of 7 January.
The consortium made up of the IPVC School of Health (ESS), the ESS at the University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro and the ESS at Bragança Polytechnic Institute thus undertakes to train their nurses for excellence in healthcare and excellence in the nursing care provided to families, particularly in the North Region.
