BSc (Hons) Mental Health Nursing

... United Kingdom
... University of Bedfordshire

Course Overview

The relationship between a person with a mental illness and their nurse is central to helping them back to mental health. This course gives you the skills you need to offer person-centred care and, on completion, you can apply for registration as a mental health nurse.

On this interactive course, you learn safe, effective nursing care that meets the needs of those with a mental health problem; it also teaches you to adapt your skills to individual situations, keeping the service user and their family at the centre of your care.

It is a hands-on course where you develop your knowledge and skills in practice settings such as hospitals, prisons, service users’ homes, residential centres, specialist clinics and other community settings.

Study areas include assessments and interventions in mental health nursing; mental health care across the lifespan; primary care services in the community; multi-professional care; leading complex care; and advocacy, empowerment and protection.

Successfully completing this course leads to registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council, allowing you to practise as a mental health nurse, in accordance with the NHS Constitution (see below).
