Our nursing degree is split between learning on campus and developing your skills on placements across the midlands region. Throughout the course you’ll develop the clinical skills, knowledge, compassion and confidence to thrive as a registered nurse.

At Worcester we have an excellent reputation for training registered nurses.You'll learn to become an articulate, flexible, decision maker who is able to promote health and well-being, prioritise effective care and implement evidence-based nursing practice. Lecturers get to know your strengths and where you can develop, offering personalised support and feedback throughout your course.When you start, you’ll also be assigned a Personal Academic Tutor. Usually this is one of the people teaching on your course and they typically remain with you throughout your adult nursing degree.Alongside seminars, lectures and one-to-one tutorials you’ll also have lots of skills session to prepare you for placement. These hands-on sessions take place in our simulation suites, which replicate the hospital and community facilities you’ll be working in when you graduate. You’ll practice different techniques and decision making scenarios with a range of simulation manikins, and learn about person-centred care with real service users and experienced nurses.


Placements

Our aim is to arrange placements and visits to a diverse range of settings during your three years on the course, so you’ll care for a range of people, in lots of different environments. We have excellent links with NHS Trusts and healthcare providers in the region, including:- Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust- Herefordshire and Worcestershire Health & Care Trust- University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust- The Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust- Wye Valley NHS Trust- Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Trust- Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS TrustAround half your time will be spent on practice placement in each year of the adult nursing degree. Your placements run in blocks across the year, normally with experiences in at least two different placement settings each year.While out on placement you’ll learn from experienced nurses and have lots of support from your tutors. These practical experiences, in combination with your time on campus, prepare you to be a skilled, compassionate and confident adult nurse.


Accreditation

This course is accredited by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). When you graduate you’ll be eligible to register as a nurse with the NMC, the professional regulatory body for nurses.
