Program Description

This course is an entry route for registered Nursing Associates to join our existing cohort of students on the BSc (Hons) Mental Health Nursing degree course. Our high-tech, high-speed lifestyles and the pressure of constant connection to social media means that mental health and wellbeing is a growing health concern for our society. During this accelerated course, you’ll develop the expertise to manage both the physical and psychological needs of patients.

Some of the topics you’ll explore include the ethics of medicine management, recovery approaches, and intervention therapies for substance abuse. You’ll also learn practical skills in conflict resolution, how to manage challenging behaviour, and how to safeguard vulnerable patients.When you’re on campus, you’ll practice clinical techniques, such as how to give emergency care in our Clinical Simulation Suite. Here, we create simulations of a patient’s journey from admission to discharge.

To help you feel prepared, you’ll spend half of this course on clinical placements or simulated practice. You may work with elderly patients with dementia in a nursing home, be part of a psychiatric intensive care unit or community psychiatric nursing team helping get patients back into their communities.
