Course Overview

This is a dynamic, interactive professional course that places the needs of individuals and their families at its center. The Programme Team are committed to supporting students to realize their potential to become compassionate, competent, and autonomous nurses, who are able to meet current and future healthcare demands.

The course is delivered by experienced registered nurses who have expertise in both teaching and research and a variety of clinical specialties, including all four fields of nursing across acute and community settings. The team works closely with local acute and community providers to ensure that the course remains contemporary.

This course prepares you to work as a registered nurse in the field of Mental Health Nursing and allows you to register with the NMC (an internationally recognized regulator for nursing). You will be able to work in a range of healthcare settings as a Band 5 nurse.
