You'll do this in each year of the course, providing the opportunity for you to practice skills in a safe and controlled environment. You’ll also undertake practice placements across the NHS and healthcare organizations in a setting close to home.
The course aims to help you become a confident, competent, caring, and compassionate nurse. From day one, you’ll get the opportunity to learn in a supportive, forward-thinking, and well-connected environment. You’ll explore all aspects of nursing, from the fundamentals of providing care to more advanced topics such as complex needs, and leadership and management. You'll develop a range of specialist skills including communication, decision-making, team working, and upholding professional values, as well as practical and theoretical skills to help and achieve your full potential as an adult nurse and meet the NMC Standards.
