The University of Derby Online Learning (UDOL) is looking for an experienced nurse academic registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council familiar with higher education in the UK, to act as an external panel member for an online MSc Nursing Studies validation event. The proposed programme is will enable nurses registered with the NMC or the professional regulator in their domicile to gain a postgraduate academic award and advance their career.
The virtual validation event via MS Teams scheduled for Thursday 22 Oct 2020 will review plans for a new postgraduate degree that draws from our established online health and social care programme modules and two new nursing modules. The design of the programme is guided by the University of Derby’s Online Academic Framework and University Academic Regulations.
The external panel member would be required to review documentation prior to the validation event and work with other panel members including the RCN reviewer, as we wish to also gain RCN accreditation for the proposed programme due to commence in January 2021.
Please contact Dr Alan R Williams, Academic Lead for more details and apply by email to a.williams@derby.ac.uk with a brief CV, also confirming you will be available on the planned validation date.
