Course Description
A 24-year-old man with OCD, unable to leave the house. A mother with young children with suicidal thoughts. A middle-aged man with depression and substance abuse issues.
Our high-tech, high-speed lifestyles and the pressure of constant connection to social media means that mental health and wellbeing is a growing health concern for our society. During this three-year course, you’ll develop the expertise to manage both the physical and psychological needs of patients.
Some of the topics you’ll explore include the ethics of medicine management, recovery approaches, and intervention therapies for substance abuse. You’ll also learn practical skills in conflict resolution, how to manage challenging behaviour, and how to safeguard vulnerable patients.
When you’re on campus, you’ll practice clinical techniques, such as how to manually take a patient’s blood pressure and how to give emergency care in our Clinical Simulation Suite. Here, we create simulations of a patient’s journey from admission to discharge.
All students must demonstrate in their personal statements an understanding of mental health nursing in the UK incorporating the NHS core values, NMC code, vision for nursing and future nurse training standards as well as contemporary issues in mental health nursing. You must evidence an understanding of the qualities required to be a nursing professional in the UK in order to be shortlisted for an interview. Successful applicants will be invited to attend an online group interview.
