Adult nurses play crucial roles in healthcare settings by restoring and promoting health, supporting patients and their families, and responding to the varied healthcare needs of individual patients or communities.

 

During this course – thanks to strong links with service providers across the region – we can offer a range of placement opportunities embedded within all three years of the course. These opportunities are in field specific areas including dementia care homes, coronary care units, specialist medicine discharge teams, brain injury units, along with GP Surgeries and District Nursing Teams.

 

Placements are typically provided across the East Midlands, in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland and sometimes in surrounding counties. In your placement, you will work alongside practice supervisors and practice assessors to learn the practical application of nursing relevant to your chosen field.

 

During the course, students also have access to updated facilities, utilising simulation suites, VR technology and LearningSpace software. LearningSpace enables a 360-degree view of your simulation training environment which can be recorded and played back at any time, to help with assessments and self-reflection of your practice.

 

With an excellent reputation and good links with the local NHS trust and other potential employers, you will benefit from our NMC-accredited course when applying for jobs. This course is structured through Inter-professional (IP) learning. Allowing you to collaborate with other allied healthcare students and professionals, and gain a wider understand of issues and debates in the sector.

 

You will share learning opportunities with students from the other fields of nursing practice but an also engage in field of practice specific learning opportunities throughout the programme, to ensure that you develop your identity, knowledge and skills within the adult nursing field of practice.
