The Council recently resolved that it would no longer be offering short courses of less than one academic year, leading to the issuing of a certificate by the Council. It was therefore decided that the regulations governing the four short courses in Occupational Health Nursing, Stoma Care Nursing, Renal Nursing and Spinal Injury Nursing be repealed. This was done under Government Notices R.1746, R.1747 and R.1748 of 17 August 1984.
The Council however, recognises the need for short courses of less than one academic year for registered nurses and resolved further that –

(b) regulations be not published;
(c) broad national programme objectives be compiled by the Council and published in the form of a directive;
(d) the programme for the course must be approved by the Council;
(e) local examinations shall be in agreement with programme objectives of the Council;
(f) the Council shall have the right to withdraw recognition of the course at any time and shall have the right of inspection;

(a) the name of the institution offering the course and the name of the qualification;
(b) the full names and surname of the holder of the qualification;
(c) the capacities in which a person is registered;
