Course descriptionNursing skills are taught and assessed in four laboratories. Learning clinical skills in the laboratories ensures that students develop competence in a safe, protected environment.
In order to develop multiprofessional and collaborative working, there is shared learning between nursing and midwifery students in areas such as biological and social sciences, informatics, research, ethics, health policy and management. The programme offers both practice and theoretical learning in a variety of institutional and community settings.
The programme offers four routes. For adult and child nursing and midwifery, placements are in hospitals and the local community such as GP practices, community nurses and health visitors. Mental health and learning disabilities nursing placements are much more community-focused in clinics, health centres and schools.
