    Nursing Associate FdSc

    About

    As a nursing associate, you'll deliver hands-on care to patients. You'll work alongside healthcare support workers (holding a care certificate) and fully qualified registered nurses, bridging the existing gap between the two roles.

    Through a combination of theoretical learning and practice placements, you'll develop a wide range of specialist and transferable clinical, care and interpersonal skills across all four fields of nursing. Practice placements will also give you the opportunity to gain a wide range of experiences through exposure to different health and care settings.

    Nursing associates will be a key part of the multidisciplinary workforce that's needed to respond to the future needs of the public and patient.

    You will attend study days and undertake guided learning. Through a combination of theoretical learning and practice placements you will develop a wide range of specialist and transferable clinical, care and interpersonal skills (including medicines management). You will learn a variety of clinical skills through simulation and experiences in a range of healthcare environments, including hospital wards and community setting. You will work with a range of people with different healthcare needs including mental health and learning disability across their lifespan as well as their carers, practice supervisors/assessors and other healthcare professionals.

    Successful completion of the course will equip you to work as a Nursing Associate and to progress your career within the health and social care sector. You may be able to progress to a shortened nursing degree course.
