Can Nursing Associates apply for Diploma or study for LoCs?

Modified on Thu, 28 Aug at 5:25 PM

If you are registered as a nursing associate with the Nursing Midwifery Council (NMC) please be mindful you are not currently eligible to take the CoSRH Diploma or LoCs. 
 
The ability to undertake a comprehensive patient assessment independently is a fundamental requirement for holders of the DCSRH or LoC which differs from the requirement “to contribute to ongoing assessment” specified in the NMC Standards of proficiency for Nursing Associates (NMC 2018). 
 
For this reason, the CoSRH Diploma and LoC qualifications are not currently accessible if you are a registered Nursing Associate.
