FdSc Health and Care Practice (Nursing Associate)

How do we tackle rising obesity levels in children? Should we use apps to diagnose and treat patients? Which services will we need to cope with an ageing population?

Health and social care is evolving in our modern society. We’re seeing many changes to the way our healthcare systems work, from devolution in Manchester to an integration of health and social care services, as well as the introduction of the new nursing associate role in England.

This exciting course provides you with both an academic and professional qualification that gives entry to a range of careers within nursing. The course will prepare you for a role as a nursing associate which is intended to complement registered nurses.

The nursing associate course offers new routes into registered nursing roles and shortened entry to honours degree nursing courses.

We’ve designed this two-year course to help you develop the practical clinical skills and techniques (such as how to give an injection) you’ll need to work in health or social care settings, as well as the confidence to work as part of a larger team.

You may practice some clinical skills alongside students on our BSc (Hons) Adult Nursing course, in our Clinical Simulation Suite. You’ll also work with them on the simulated scenarios we create there, such as major trauma management where a patient involved in a motorbike accident arrives who needs stabilising and emergency care. It’s a fantastic way to learn how to operate as part of a team and explore ways you’ll work with nurses to support patients.

As a trainee Nursing Associate you will care for and support vulnerable adults in a variety of settings including hospital, community and the independent and voluntary sectors.

Nursing is a challenging profession, both mentally and physically, which carries a great deal of responsibility. Nurses care for people across the lifespan including young adults and others with acute and long-term illnesses. They work as part of a multi-disciplinary team alongside doctors, physiotherapists, anaesthetists, pharmacists, dieticians and many others.

You will learn how to assess the needs of the patient, communicate effectively with professional colleagues, and provide sensitive support for the patient and their families.

Admission Requirement / Eligibility Criteria

All applicants for the Part-Time route must have the support of their current employer, within the nursing/healthcare profession. This employer must be willing and able to provide the candidate with a variety of placement settings during the practical work experience requirements of the course. If your employer needs further information on the type of placement settings they will need to offer or secure on your behalf, please ask them to contact the programme lead.

Important Information:

It is important for you to note, that should your employer fail to provide the relevant placement settings during your programme of study, you would no longer be able to continue on the programme or would be required to move to the full-time route.
