he Programme is designed for experienced registered nurses working in different specialties in the provision of health care. They have to study on a part-time self-directive basis, where the selected teaching and learning strategies will address this characteristic. Teaching strategies include lectures, seminars, small group tutorials, laboratory demonstrations and practices, discussions, and case studies. The subjects also adopt multimedia strategies, e-learning approaches, and clinical field observation and practice with endeavours to facilitate the integration of theoretical knowledge into clinical practice.
