You’ll utilise human patient simulators to enhance your confidence, competence and understanding of patient care, and undertake clinical placements in various settings throughout the NHS, as well as in the voluntary and private sectors. Throughout your course, you’ll learn the fundamentals of nursing care and progress to understand complex needs and leadership and management. You'll develop a range of skills, including communication and decision-making, whilst maintaining professional values.
