In England, the nursing associate role has been developed in response to workforce needs and acts as a bridge between healthcare support workers and registered nurses within healthcare teams. Our Foundation Degree in Nursing Associate Practice is a Higher Technical Qualification; the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE) has approved it as meeting occupational standards for the healthcare sector. It helps you to develop the knowledge and skills needed to deliver high-quality, safe, and compassionate care in preparation for this new role in healthcare.To study this qualification, you'll need to be employed in an appropriate healthcare setting or supported by an NHS Trust or other healthcare organisation, who are able to provide the required practice learning experience. Upon successful completion, you’ll be eligible to register as a nursing associate with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
Key features of the course- Enhance your employability through a professionally regulated IfATE-approved Higher Technical Qualification.- Enables professional registration as a registered Nursing Associate on the NMC register.- Practice-based learning – you’ll need the support of your employer, an NHS Trust or another healthcare organisation to undertake your practice placements.- Covers all fields of nursing practice across the lifespan, including long-term conditions, mental health, children and young people, end-of-life care, learning disabilities, primary, secondary, community and acute care.- Build a solid foundation for further study and potential progression to study to be a registered nurse.-
