The BMed Sci (Hons) in Nursing (Adult) programme aims to prepare you for the complex world of health care practice and to be able to manage the uncertainty integral to this working environment.

 

In doing so, you'll develop an understanding of how the NHS and health and social care organisations function and interrelate, how policy and organisational factors impact on and influence the engagement and performance of all those involved.

 

You'll also develop the technical, intellectual and inter-personal skills necessary to engage actively and competently in multi-disciplinary, inter-agency care delivery.

 

Successful completion of the programme will allow you to seek Registration on the appropriate part of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Professional Register. The NMC is the Statutory Body which regulates the education and practice of the nursing, midwifery and health visiting professions.

 

Our graduates are passionate about improving people's lives. They join the nursing profession fulfilling roles in primary, community and secondary care, education and management.
