    About

    The student nursing associate role is proving to be an exciting addition to the nursing workforce. Successful completion of this course means you will be eligible to apply for registration as a Nursing Associate with the NMC.

    The nursing associate is a generic nursing role in England that bridges the gap between healthcare support workers and registered nurses. They deliver hands-on, person-centred care as part of a multidisciplinary team in a range of different settings.

    You’ll have the opportunity to engage in skills development and simulated learning, allowing you to practice the skills required of a nursing associate. You'll also be able to identify where you need to focus your personal and professional development plans.

    As you progress through the course, you will find that your work-based learning will inform your theoretical work and vice-versa. Your work-based learning will be managed by our staff to ensure that you will meet the work-based learning requirements for your course.
