Mental illness requires just as much care as physical illness – sometimes even more so. As a mental health nurse, you’ll be crucial in helping people get their lives back on track.
You’ll learn from our experienced lecturers and technicians using state-of-the-art simulation facilities, coupled with time out on clinical placement. This combined learning approach of theory and practice will prepare you to provide safe, compassionate care and become a confident nurse
Why study this subject?
Whether you have personal experience of mental illness, supported friends and family, or simply want to help those who struggle day-to-day, becoming a mental health nurse may be a great fit for you.
No two days within this job are the same – mental health comprises a vast and diverse range of illnesses that you will have to respond to, such as including anxiety, depression, psychotic disturbances, paranoia and dementia.
To support your studies, the UK Government are continuing to provide mental health nursing students with a payment of at least £5,000 a year which will not need to be paid back. Find out more about the NHS Learning Support Fund.
Once you graduate from this course, you’ll be able to join as a Registered Nurse with the Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC), which enables you to practice in the UK.
