Course Overview

The course is mainly delivered through digital technologies and also involves practical, hands-on experience. Although the theoretical component is predominantly delivered online, youll attend the campus in Huddersfield (or a similar venue close to your home) for a maximum total of four one-week blocks for simulation and skills training. Youll do this in each year of the course, providing the opportunity for you to practice skills in a safe and controlled environment. Youll also undertake practice placements across the NHS and healthcare organizations in a setting close to home. In line with the apprenticeship model, the course is designed to support the training in practice approach. Whilst undertaking the course youll remain employed by your host organization and may spend 20% of your time in your current workplace. The remaining 80% will be spent at the University undertaking theory work and clinical placements. The course is designed to be progressively demanding and once qualified youll be eligible to apply for registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and work as a Registered Nurse for Adults.
