Course Overview

In modern health and social care settings, nursing students are increasingly required to work towards becoming autonomous practitioners, taking a leadership role in decisions regarding patient care within multi-professional settings. They routinely have the most frequent and intense contact with patients and must be competent in recognizing changes in a patient's conditions so that appropriate action can be taken. This curriculum has been developed as a spiral curriculum with assessment at its core. Placing equal value on practice and theory, undertaking 800 hours of both per year, you will have the opportunity to study a wide range of subjects, including anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, psychology, sociology, and research methods. This course will give you the opportunity to become immersed in learning about the needs of populations, individuals, related health, and nursing services with an emphasis on using research to enhance and improve services.
