Nursing (Mental Health) - NTU in Mansfield BSc (Hons)

About

Introduction:

Mental health nursing is central to the NHS Workforce Plan (2023), and to meeting the health needs of the nation. It is a unique profession providing care to people across the lifespan who are experiencing mental distress, and promoting mental wellbeing for the entire population.

Mental health nurses work in a diverse range of settings including the community, hospitals and the the voluntary sectors. They also work across boundaries to support people they care for with physical comorbidities.

Our teaching is delivered by experienced practitioners with input from patient and carers. By doing this, we help students develop the technical skills, critical thinking, problem-solving and compassion required to provide high-quality mental health care.

Taught at NTU in Mansfield, the core NHS values of care, compassion, competence, communication, courage and commitment are embedded in our teaching. Through our flexible curriculum and blended learning approach, you’ll develop the core knowledge, skills and attributes needed for a successful career in nursing – both at home and abroad. You’ll have the chance to complete care-based work placements – putting into practice your theoretical skills.

Taught by a team of experienced healthcare practitioners and with the additional input of service users and carer groups, you’ll learn from the very best on your journey towards becoming a Registered Mental Health Nurse.

Vaccinations

As a healthcare student, you have a duty of care towards patients and other staff, including taking reasonable precautions to protect yourself and others from communicable diseases. We therefore require you to be vaccinated for some infectious diseases if you do not already have immunity to them. Whilst we cannot force you to have a vaccination, the University and our practice partners strongly recommend you do.

Failure to undertake the required immunisations and blood screening may lead to you not being able to be placed in certain clinical areas which may adversely impact your ability to complete the required practice hours and clinical competencies.

Interview dates

Interview dates may be subject to change and will be confirmed to successful applicants when they are invited to interview.

In exceptional circumstances this may result in the course becoming full before you have completed the admissions process.
