Program Description
At least one in four people will experience mental distress during their lifetime – and nurses are a vital part of their recovery. Middlesex University's specialist course will help students develop the unique skill set and confidence to succeed in a challenging yet rewarding career that positively impacts on the lives of patients.
A shortage of mental health nurses in the UK means many of Middlesex University's recent graduates with nursing qualifications were able to secure graduate employment or go onto further study (DLHE 2017).
Nursing education in the mental health field will build on students' passion for helping others. Students will develop a holistic approach to assessing, treating, care planning and supporting people to recover and live the best lives possible. With plenty of hands-on experience throughout their nursing study, students will also gain the observation and communication skills to confidently collaborate with service users, families, carers and colleagues. In fact, many students secure their first job with a placement host.
Students will spend 50% of the course building their practical experience through a variety of unique clinical placement opportunities with Middlesex NHS partners across London. These include the prestigious Barts Health NHS Trust, Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust, and many more.
