This accredited1 Nursing Associate foundation degree is designed to meet the educational requirements necessary for the nursing associate role. This enables successful graduates to register as a Nursing Associate with the Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC) (see accreditation section), and work supporting registered nurses delivering hands-on care in a wide variety of clinical settings.

 

Why you should study this course

This course gives you the opportunity to develop a range of practical skills and the underpinning knowledge to allow you to make a real difference to quality of life and care of people of all ages and in a wide range of healthcare settings.

 

Equal time and weighting are given to the practical and theoretical components of the course. The course is taught by experienced nurses and healthcare professionals who will support you in your journey to becoming an NMC-registered Nursing Associate.

 

It may also offer a pathway to other nursing roles, including that of a graduate nurse through progression onto a pre-registration programme therefore further enhancing career options. After successfully completing this course it may be possible to transfer on to the second year of a BSc Nursing degree, but this would depend on NMC requirements and standards and your chosen field of nursing, therefore this cannot be guaranteed.
