Course description

This course provides students an introduction to the role of the registered nurse in providing care for individuals with complex and lifelong health issues. The course reflects Australia's National Strategic Framework for Chronic Conditions. There is an emphasis on the principles for effective prevention and management of chronic or recurrent conditions. A key tenet of this course is the centrality of the individual and their support systems, including families, and the registered nurse's role as advocate. The course is situated in a primary healthcare framework and enables students to develop their theoretical knowledge and skills around health promotion, illness prevention, early intervention and the promotion of self-management in the context of chronic conditions.
