This program has a strong clinical component and utilize a competence based training approach. The
curriculum comprises three major areas namely core courses, advanced practice courses and critical care
speciality courses. Through development of competencies and accreditation, this program aims to enhance
service delivery and improve health outcomes. It is hoped to provide new opportunities for Nurses practitioners
in terms of career pathway and professional development. Established institutional protocols/standing orders will
guide their independent and advanced critical care nursing practice. The critical care nursing practice standard
of INC will regulate their practice.
