This PGDip in mental health nursing meets the demand for highly employable nurses who can work with complex morbidities across the lifespan – and within different settings. Joining us, you’ll learn how to deliver care to adults and children with a range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, psychosis and personality disorder. Each person will need individually-tailored education, treatment and guidance to manage their symptoms. Up for the challenge? NMC approved Once you graduate, you’ll be eligible to register as a qualified mental health nurse with the Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC). You’ll have the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to plan, coordinate and deliver care in a safe, compassionate and effective way.
You must have current registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council as a nurse and provide evidence of having worked as a registrant in your intended second field. It is a Nursing and Midwifery Council requirement that any prior experiential learning used to gain entry to the course is capable of being mapped to the standards of proficiency for registered nurses. You should have a degree equivalent to UK first-class or second-class honours (2:2 or above). Health-related subjects are preferred but not essential. Other subjects will be considered on an individual basis. Applicants without a degree may be considered based on practice experience, subject to demonstrating a comprehensive knowledge of the discipline, including an in-depth awareness of current issues. Skills in critical analysis and evaluation, as well as the ability to learn in a flexible, independent manner, are essential.
