Course summary
The Nursing Associate Foundation degree will equip you with the knowledge, skills, and attributes to become a registered Nursing Associate with the NMC. Nursing associates contribute to the promotion of health, health protection, and the prevention of ill health. They interact with a variety of service users, families and carers, and an extensive range of health and care professionals and other agencies. Nursing associates must be emotionally intelligent and resilient individuals, able to manage their own personal health and well-being, recognise boundaries of their practice, and know when and how to access support. You will study nursing skills and knowledge, communication skills, professional issues, anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, health, and health promotion. Your modules use a problem-based learning approach, and you will be introduced to a number of service user-based enigmas that will support your understanding by the integration of theory and practice. You will be able to develop and enhance your skills in our simulation suites to enhance your confidence and competence in a safe environment. We understand that you’re eager to begin practising as nursing associate students, so our course has been designed with 50% practice to ensure that you receive the crucial hands-on experience that will enable you to excel in your nursing career.
