With New Zealand's ageing population, general practitioners, nurses,
physiotherapists, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists,
social workers and psychologists are increasingly being confronted by the
challenge of caring for older people in the community. Our courses are designed
to enhance the skills of health professionals in this area and are comprehensive
and client orientated.
The courses have a strong interdisciplinary focus and have been developed for
all health professional disciplines. Registered nurses may take gerontology
courses towards the advanced nursing specialisation of the Postgraduate
Certificate and Postgraduate Diploma in Health Sciences.
Courses are offered in a distance learning format.
