Adult Nursing, BSc (Hons)

This course prepares students for adult nursing by focusing on NHS core values and real-world challenges, such as caring for an elderly woman post-car accident, a resistant alcoholic patient after a fall, or a young cancer patient out of remission. It equips learners with essential skills through a balanced curriculum, including half the time in clinical placements across settings like operating theatres, emergency departments, and community centres, alongside campus-based training in clinical techniques such as manual blood pressure measurement and emergency care in simulated environments.Lectures cover topics like anatomy, infectious diseases, poverty's impact on health, and ethical issues in modern nursing. All applicants must demonstrate understanding of UK nursing standards, including NHS values and the Nursing and Midwifery Council Code, to be considered for interview. The programme boasts NMC approval, strong employability (95% of graduates employed or in further study within six months), and opportunities for shared learning and enhanced skills in acute illness management, supported by advanced facilities.
