Course Overview
As health service delivery becomes more integrated, this PGDip in mental health nursing meets the demand for highly employable nurses who can work with complex morbidities across the lifespan – and within different settings.
Joining us, you’ll learn how to deliver care to adults and children with a range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, psychosis, and personality disorder.
Once you graduate you’ll be eligible to register as a qualified mental health nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
General Eligibility
You must have current registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council as a nurse and provide evidence of having worked as a registrant in your intended second field. It is a Nursing and Midwifery Council requirement that any prior experiential learning used to gain entry to the course is capable of being mapped to the standards of proficiency for registered nurses.
You should have a degree equivalent to UK first-class or second-class honors (2:2 or above). Health-related subjects are preferred but not essential. Other subjects will be considered on an individual basis.
Applicants without a degree may be considered based on practice experience, subject to demonstrating a comprehensive knowledge of the discipline, including an in-depth awareness of current issues. Skills in critical analysis and evaluation, as well as the ability to learn in a flexible, independent manner, are essential.
An interview forms part of the selection process.
