Mental health nurses have a key role to play in healthcare by supporting and managing mental health, wellbeing and recovery. Mental health nurses work within diverse communities to provide evidence-based healthcare to people who are experiencing acute or chronic presentations, along with supporting their families.
Students will have the opportunity to care for people across the lifespan in a range of settings, such as acute, community and specialist mental health teams.
During this course – thanks to strong links with service providers across the region – we can offer a range of placement opportunities embedded within all three years of the course. Opportunities within this specific field include acute mental health wards, community mental health teams and more specialist placements such as; HMP Leicester, Perinatal Mental Health Team, Crisis Service, Child and Adolescents Mental Health Services (CAMHS) and Older Adult Services.
Placements are typically provided across the East Midlands, in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland and sometimes in surrounding counties. In your placement, you will work alongside practice supervisors and practice assessors to learn the practical application of nursing relevant to mental health nursing. During the course, students also have access to updated facilities, utilising simulation suites, Virtual Reality technology and LearningSpace software.
Our mental health nursing degree is NMC accredited and you will engage in field of practice specific learning opportunities throughout the programme, to support your developing identity as a mental health nurse, knowledge, and skills. The course also includes opportunities for interprofessional learning with other health and care students, as well as benefitting from shared learning opportunities with all nursing students.
