Recommendations 1-4  Professional development and practice for health visitors and school nurses needs to be supported through an accredited rolling programme of continuing professional development in public health, focusing initially on modules in Leadership for Public Health, Professional and Technical Skills in Public Health and Policy development in practice.  Plymouth’s Public Health Development Unit and the University of Plymouth, (Faculty of Health and Social Work) should jointly review the current post-registration curriculum of the BSc (Hons) in Public Health Nursing at the University of Plymouth.  A ‘Professional Practice in Public Health Nursing’ steering group for Plymouth and the Peninsula (affiliated to the Expert Advisory Groups for curriculum development at the University of Plymouth) should be established, with terms of reference, to include the development of a CPD programme, monitoring and evaluation of the programme.  The development of a post-graduate education programme in public health nursing at certificate, diploma and masters level should be explored and scoped for viability at the University of Plymouth.

Recommendations 5-7  Capacity building and skills development needs to be supported through the development of a training and education programme for post-registered health visitors and school nurses, (linked into current provision of training departments and other providers), to strengthen current skills and meet deficiencies in skills, knowledge and practice.  Support for CPD funding and programme development, and its management, should be sought from the Workforce Development Confederation, the Health Development Agency and other sources.  Public health community practice and role demands should be reviewed by the professional leads in health visiting and school nursing to ensure that the CPD programme development is supportive of the needs of the profession.
