Nursing (mental Health) Bsc in University of Leeds

The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) will be changing the education and practice standards required to be a Registered Adult, Child or Mental Health Nurse, as a result there may be changes to the curriculum for all these courses from September 2020.

For more information please visit the NMC website.

This programme meets the NMC (2010) guiding principles underpinning pre-registration education for nurses of “fitness for purpose” and “fitness for practice”. It consists of not less than 4,600 hours of study (2,300 hours in the practice setting and 2,300 hours theoretical study), which results in 360 credits across three levels:

Part 1: 120 credits at level 1 leading to progression point one of the programme

Part 2: 120 credits at level 2 leading to progression point two of the programme

Part 3: 120 credits at level 3 enabling registration with the NMC.

The focus of the first year is on shared learning, which takes place with other nursing and undergraduate healthcare students. This incorporates a number of general themes such as biology, sociology, psychology, promoting health, communication and study/research skills. A core focus is on developing caring skills, self-awareness and reflective practice.

In year 2 the skills of therapeutic engagement will be developed across the lifespan, with the emphasis on the lived experience of mental health service users. This will include utilising different perspectives, underpinned by research and the ethical/legal frameworks for mental health practice.

In year 3 you'll focus on developing intervention strategies and approaches for more complex mental health needs, including pharmacology and risk management. A 10,000-word research dissertation develops your ability to use, summarise and communicate research evidence and apply it to your professional practice. Towards the end of the course, there will be an opportunity for a period of consolidation and preparation for registered nursing practice.
