Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust is supporting a national campaign to promote nursing return to practice, working with local education providers and to offer fantastic employment opportunities on completion.

If you have been a registered nurse previously and wish to return to the profession, then you may need to undertake a return to practice programme. The programme is essentially a period of updating your skills and knowledge, so that you can return to work in nursing and become re-registered.

To ensure that returning to nursing is as simple as possible for you, return to practice programmes have been refreshed so that you can enjoy a supportive, flexible and varied learning experience.

If you’re looking to complete a return to practice course, you can now expect:

  • Course fees to be paid
  • Additional financial support towards travel, childcare and book costs etc.
  • Clear information on how to find a course
  • Support in finding a clinical placement
  • Theory and clinical-based training
  • Access to a mentor
  • Simulation techniques to practice skills
  • Preceptorship support

This fresh approach to return to practice supports nurses on their journey back into nursing.
