Nursing is a challenging but rewarding career that'll change lives, including students' own. As a mental health nurse students will play their part in improving access to healthcare, wellbeing, social inclusion and quality of life. Working in a variety of settings, including specialist and community services, and people's homes, mental health nurses provide focused health support to people of all ages.
Students will learn from a passionate, enthusiastic, skilled and supportive team with a range of experience across all the many different aspects of Mental Health nursing, and other fields of nursing. As many of the staff are active researchers, their learning will be enriched by the very latest in best practice and clinical understanding.
This course has a strong practical focus, allowing students to gain competence carrying out the hands-on tasks they'll perform in their career. About half the students' time will be spent on placements with UWE's established partners. Students will also have regular access to outstanding facilities including the Skills Simulation Suite: an imitation ward where they'll be able to develop their clinical expertise in a safe, instructive environment.
