About this course

The Registered Nursing Associate course is a new direct entry course which will cover the six platforms of care for nursing associates as outlined in the Nursing Associates Proficiency Standards.

The Nursing Associate is a registerable qualification with the Nursing and Midwifery Council. This foundation degree is suitable for either those who are new to healthcare, or experienced healthcare workers looking for a recognised qualification. On completion of the course, you may wish to register as a nursing associate or undertake further education to become a qualified nurse. This degree is a natural progression from the T Level in Health as well as traditional entry routes from Health and Social Care courses.

Your study time will be split 50/50 between theory and clinical practice. You'll be exposed to simulation with the use of our state-of-the-art facilities, where you'll learn clinical skills in a safe environment with highly experienced staff and our Patient, Carer and Public Involvement participants.

This course is subject to approval.
