Program Description Care, compassion, competence, communication, courage and commitment: these core NHS values are embedded in Nottingham Trent University's teaching. The World Health Organisation has declared 2020 as “Year of the Nurse”, recognising the huge part they play in day-to-day healthcare. It’s an important and deeply rewarding role. Through the flexible curriculum and blended learning approach – building up the students' theoretical knowledge of mental health care strategies, and then putting it into practice on placement with service users and providers – students will develop their holistic, therapeutic and decision-making skills in line with the demands of modern nursing. Taught by experienced practitioners – and with the additional input of service users and carer groups – students will learn from the very best on their journey towards accreditation as a Registered Mental Health Nurse. This course gives students a robust knowledge of mental health nursing practice – as well as the wider sector – both in and outside of the classroom. It’s the perfect combination of theory and practice, allied to great facilities, modules built around the latest research, and teachers who’ve worked for years in professional healthcare. Students will develop their nursing knowledge based around: A holistic view of a person’s’ psychological and physical needs to support recovery The chance to refine and apply their therapeutic skills A practice-learning environment, with simulated exercises and activities Placements in a variety of healthcare settings Some fantastic opportunities for career development. The nursing degree isn’t just distinguished by the amount of time students will spend on placement – it’s how early those placements opportunities arrive on their course. From the outset, Nottingham Trent University will support students in hands-on, practice-based environments, supporting local healthcare providers and putting their theoretical skills to the test. Alongside the “interprofessional” nature of teaching – which connects students with experts from across the sector, broadening their skills and knowledge – students wil have the perfect grounding in mental health nursing.
