EXCITING OPPORTUNITIES

You will undertake practical work experience placements, as well as spend time developing practical skills in our clinical skills labs using clinical patient simulators (manikins) and simulation model trainers. Clinical setting work placements account for 50% of the clinical practice time for the child nursing course. These are interspersed throughout the three years of the programme.

The School of Nursing is amongst one of the first educational providers within the North West region who ensure that you are adequately supported within their clinical experiences by allocating associate lecturing staff to first year placement areas. These members of staff will visit you within the student’s placement areas to ensure that the placement is progressing and the learning environment is providing you with appropriate learning opportunities that will enable you to achieve your learning outcomes.

Service users, carers and the wider community are also involved in the development, delivery and running of the nursing programme. Service users and carers share their experiences with students at the University and are involved in providing students with feedback in clinical practice, as well as being involved in recruitment and assessment activities.

Opportunities exist for you to have an international experience by taking advantage of the University’s extensive links in Europe and overseas. A number of students have also taken advantage of the Erasmus Scheme as well as other voluntary international experiences.
