Course summary
What this course is about
UCAS code: B762
Here's what University of Worcester says about its Nursing (Mental Health) (Pre-Registration) course.
Overview
This course is designed for people who already hold a degree and want to become a registered mental health nurse. Whether you’ve worked in health or social care, or are already a registered nurse looking to qualify in a second field of practice, this course offers a fast-track route into mental health nursing.
You’ll learn how to deliver safe, compassionate and person-centred care to people experiencing a wide range of mental health needs. The course will help you develop the specialist skills needed to support recovery, promote wellbeing, and build therapeutic relationships with patients across all age groups. You’ll gain confidence through a mix of theory, hands-on skills sessions and simulation days, which take place in our advanced simulation suites that replicate real clinical environments.
Through realistic case studies and scenarios, you’ll explore how mental health nurses work collaboratively with patients, families, and multidisciplinary teams. You’ll also learn how to assess mental health conditions, manage complex care needs, and support people in making informed choices about their treatment and recovery.
Your lecturers will get to know you personally. Through tailored support and reflections, they will get to know your strengths and where you can develop. When you start, you’ll be assigned a Personal Academic Tutor, usually this is one of the lecturers teaching your course and they typically remain with you throughout your studies.
By the end of the course, you’ll be ready to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and begin your career as a qualified adult nurse.
