Our Accredited Emergency Nursing Qualifications Are Being Refreshed and are Relaunching Soon
We’re working with a new awarding body to relaunch our Level 6 Qualification in Emergency Nursing — fully regulated, accredited, and recognised across the UK and Ireland. Whether you complete individual units or the full programme, this work-based qualification is designed to advance your practice and your career.
Current learners will continue with their planned units and awards through our existing awarding body. A refreshed, accredited Level 6 Qualification will launch soon — revised, strengthened, and aligned with the latest emergency care standards. Keep building your portfolio now — evidence you gather today (or even from previous years) remains valid if it’s relevant and up to date. Our CPD webinars, proformas, and reflection tools support you in collecting meaningful evidence for assessment.
When the new qualification launches, you’ll be ready to have your development recognised.
Coming Soon — Level 7 Diploma in Leading and Managing Emergency Care — recognising leadership, clinical expertise, and advanced practice.

Emergency Nurse Education and Study Time Standards
FEN is pleased to share this landmark recommendation paper, developed by UK experts in Emergency Nursing and Emergency Medicine from NHS Trusts, Health Boards, and Professional Organisations.
The paper sets out a sustainable strategy for Emergency Nursing, centred on protected education time, defined career pathways, and equitable access to Clinical Nurse Educators — with practical proposals to reduce variation, improve retention, and enhance care quality. Aligned with national priorities, it has been submitted to Government ministers, nursing leaders, and education bodies.
