Year 1: the nurse as an instrument of fundamental care and caring. In year 1 you’ll be introduced to fundamental concepts required to be a healthcare professional and key concepts related to adult nursing. You’ll also consider who you are, your role as a nurse and ways in which you can enhance your own resilience. Throughout the year you’ll develop your skills in working with patients and their families and carers, as well as members of the nursing team, the multi-disciplinary team and wider agencies. By the end of year 1 you’ll be able to demonstrate, apply and reflect on the fundamental knowledge, skills and attitudes required for holistic care and caring. Year 2: the nurse as an instrument to support and promote optimal health and well-being across the lifespan. In year 2 there is a focus on working with individuals with long-term health conditions and people with co-morbidities. You’ll consider how health promotion and health education can be used to empower individuals and their families to maximise their level of health and wellbeing. Care delivery throughout the lifespan will be considered including supporting patients and their families who are living with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions and end of life care. You’ll also begin to develop your peer coaching skills. By the end of year 2 you’ll be able to apply your knowledge and skills to patients with increasingly complex conditions to enable optimal health and wellbeing. Year 3: the nurse as a leader and co-ordinator of care and caring. In year 3 you’ll apply your knowledge and understanding to adults who have complex and critical care needs. You’ll be taught and practice a range of advanced skills during this year. You’ll further develop your leadership and team working skills you’ll be supported in your transition to the role of registered nurse. You’ll complete a 10,000-word dissertation that will enable you to critically focus on an area of patient care where there is scope for development. During the first placement in year 3 there is an opportunity to undertake a non-assessed placement abroad. By the end of year 3 you’ll be able to evaluate and determine priorities for care delivery.

In clinical practice you’ll be assessed by registered professionals who are responsible for your learning and development whilst on placement. Within the University, assessment takes many forms including individual and group assignments, written and oral exams, and practical assessments. You’ll need to demonstrate knowledge and application of nursing concepts and techniques, and will develop abilities, skills and competencies in providing person-centred care. You’ll need to produce work that is both evaluative and creative and show you can conduct independent, in-depth enquiry within the discipline. You’ll need to be able to draw on a wide variety of evidence-based material such as academic journals, textbooks, policy and national health-related guidelines and be able to evaluate and critique received opinion.
