Course Overview

Mental health nursing involves working with people, their families, carers, and communities, all of whom may experience the impact of mental illness. This includes people with formal diagnoses such as psychosis, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, and personality disorders, as well as people who do not accept or recognize these diagnostic labels. Mental health nurses work within the framework to help people make sense of their own experiences. The course is designed to help you become a confident, competent, and compassionate nurse. Our mental health nursing team will support you to develop the intellectual, personal and professional skills you need to practice in this challenging and rewarding field of healthcare. After successfully graduating from the course youll be eligible to apply for registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and work as a Registered Nurse in Mental Health. This course provides a flexible way to fit study around work and life, using mainly digital technologies, but still including practical, hands-on experience. Although the theoretical component is predominantly delivered online, youll attend the campus in Huddersfield (or a similar venue close to your home) for a maximum total of four one-week blocks for simulation and skills training. You'll do this in each year of the course, providing the opportunity for you to practice skills in a safe and controlled environment. Youll also undertake practice placements across the NHS and healthcare organizations in a setting close to home.
