Return to Practice Nursing Programme

This programme is an exciting collaboration with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) and Glasgow Caledonian University, delivering an employer-led model for Return to Practice, enabling previously registered adult and mental health nurses to return to the NMC register.

You will have access to a blend of online and face-to-face learning and teaching and undertake a practice learning experience within NHSGGC to refresh your knowledge and skills to enable you to return to the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) register.

You will be recruited to the programme jointly by NHSGGC and Glasgow Caledonian University. Your programme fees will be paid in full and you will be employed as a nursing return to practice student by NHSGGC throughout the return to practice programme and paid at Agenda for Change band 2.

You will complete a total of 300 or 450 hours of practice which will be dependent on the length and circumstances for the lapse of your registration. This will be discussed individually and agreed with each candidate at interview. The practice learning hours you complete each week can be flexible, full time or part time. You will be a supernumerary member of staff and be working in the capacity of a nursing student whilst undertaking the Return to Practice Programme.

Applications are invited from adult and mental health nurses only, with a lapse of registration for the Return to Practice programme commencing September 2025.

Entry requirements:

· Evidence of current NMC Statement of entry

· Declaration of any NMC Order (if relevant)

· Following successful interview, undertake and complete all required pre-employment checks

· Commitment to fulfil the programme requirements and remain within employment for a minimum of one year within NHSGGC

· Undertake the academic and practice elements of the programme without interruption

Our Commitment to you

· Your programme fees will be paid in full

· NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde will support you financially, meaning you will be paid as a Band 2 (£24,647 - £26,763) for the duration of the programme

· On successful completion of the programme you will be offered employment as a registered practitioner in a substantive post in NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde

· You will receive academic and practice learning support for the duration of your programme to facilitate your return to the NMC register

What happens next?

Applications are now invited from interested individuals who are seeking to re-join the NMC register for Adult or Mental Health nursing only.

Adult nursing posts will only be available within Clyde Sector, with a possibility of Prison Health Care and Alcohol and Drug Recovery Service.

Candidates will be required to apply to NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and, following successful interview, to Glasgow Caledonian University.

Applications will be subject to a stringent shortlisting process with Glasgow Caledonian University and those shortlisted will be subject to a joint values-based interview with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and Glasgow Caledonian University.
