Background:

The UK faces nursing shortages, particularly in specialized areas like health visiting.
Initiatives are needed to support the return of experienced nurses to practice.
NHS London piloted a return to health visiting practice scheme in 2010.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the experiences of nurses returning to health visiting practice through a pilot program at City University London.
To identify program adaptations necessary for equipping returnees with current theory and practice skills.
To assess critical success factors for return to practice programs.

Main Methods:

Evaluation of written feedback from 54 returnees across three cohorts.
Analysis of application forms for demographic and experience data.
Interviews with practice teachers and lecturers, and mid-stage questionnaires for Cohort 1.

Main Results:

Over half of the returnees remained on professional registers, necessitating program adjustments.
Modifications included increased health visiting-specific content after Cohort 1.
Returnees possessed diverse experience, with many having been out of practice for over 11 years.

Conclusions:

University support for practice placements is vital.
The taught curriculum must be current and relevant to contemporary health visiting.
Assessment processes should be appropriate and not overly burdensome for returnees.
