Pre-registration nurse training - CHAMPS

Interwoven throughout public health white papers and DH policy documents is the vision to transform the NHS from a sickness to a true ‘health’ service. This can only be achieved if staff at the front line have the knowledge, skills and opportunity to provide individualised care that focuses on preventing illness as opposed to treating it (Darzi 2008).

Ensuring that newly qualified  nurses have the knowledge, skills and confidence to deliver public health messages in a wide variety of settings can be achieved by adding brief intervention training to the undergraduate nursing curricula.

The aim of this additional training is to ensure that promoting health becomes a core part of the nursing role. By collaborating on a common set of resources, health  messages can be consistent and delivered utilising a client-centred approach.
