The aims of PEACH are as follows:

There are currently 25 full-funded places for nominated Registered Nurses as students of King’s College London to undertake a Masters level module ‘Fundamental Knowledge and Skills in Older Persons’ Care’. To be eligible, you must be an early careers nurse, within 5-6 years of registration, and have a minimum education level of a Bachelors or equivalent. Further, you will also have to hold a current substantive post in a care home for older adults (with a minimum of 12 months’ experience in this area) and be nominated by the Lead Nurse/Line Manager.

 

Nominated nurses will have to commit to six study days. Study days commence in October and will be held once a month on a Wednesday, from 9am to 5pm, at King’s College London, Waterloo Campus. Please note that additional study time will be required.

 

The organisations to which the nurse(s) are affiliated will have to commit to identifying clinical learning opportunities to support the nominated nurse(s) to achieve their specific objectives, map nurse career pathways within the organisation, be willing to share workforce data, and engage in opportunities to share good practice.

 

If you are interested, you should discuss PEACH with your line manager, who will have to nominate you. Nominations should be sent to: peachproject@kcl.ac.uk (Nomination Deadline: Monday 27th July 2018).

 

The PEACH team will then contact you directly to invite you to apply for the programme via the King’s College London application portal (Application Deadline: Monday 13th August 2018).
