Nursing Associate - FdSc

About

A nursing associate is a new and vital member of the wider nursing team in England. This is a stand-alone role which is designed to help bridge the gap between health and care assistants and registered nurses.

Our nursing courses are offered over two academic years, consisting of 45 weeks of study per year. They utilise a range of teaching and learning styles. Students spend half of their time studying at the University and the other half gaining practical experience in nursing.

The theoretical and clinical elements of the course are centred on the NHS values of working together for patients; respect and dignity; commitment to quality care; compassion; improving lives; and everyone counts.

First-year modules aim to provide the core foundation skills for nursing, with a focus on the acquisition of knowledge and understanding of anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and social sciences. This is built upon in the second year, where students can develop professional skills and apply ethical principles to rational decision-making.

What You Need to Know

We want you to have all the information you need to make an informed decision on where and what you want to study. To help you choose the course thats right for you, we aim to bring to your attention all the important information you may need. Our What You Need to Know page offers detailed information on key areas including contact hours, assessment, optional modules, and additional costs.

Nursing associates work with people of all ages and in a variety of settings in health and social care. The role will contribute to the core work of nursing, freeing up registered nurses to focus on more complex clinical care.

The School of Health and Social Care works closely with our health care partners to provide students with the opportunity to study for a Nursing Associate Foundation degree (FdSc).

The course combines work-based and directed learning and education specific to becoming a Nursing Associate, which upon successful completion leads to a Foundation degree and professional recognition, enabling you to register as a Nursing Associate with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
