Course overview: Make a positive difference to patients with physical, emotional and social care needs, in hospital and community settings. You develop emotional intelligence, clinical decision-making and interpersonal skills, and your ability to provide high-quality person-centred compassionate nursing in a safe and caring environment.

This course reflects the changing and challenging nature of providing healthcare in the 21st century and the evolving and diverse role of the adult nurse.
