Description:

Mental health nurses work with patients suffering from a wide range of conditions, from psychological to personality disorders. Frequently, mental health nursing is less concerned with curing illness than it is with supporting patients and their families and helping them to cope. This degree is designed to provide a strong foundation in clinical practice, with a focus on pastoral and academic support. The aim is for graduates to be well prepared to help shape future healthcare provision in the complex, demanding, and rewarding area of mental health. Students are encouraged to become professional, ethical, and competent nurses with critical-thinking skills and the confidence to review and improve standards of care for patients.

This course is accredited by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), enabling students to register as a qualified nurse upon successful completion of the course.
