The Adult Nursing Practice BSc (Hons) degree has been developed in collaboration with Sunderland CARE Academy partner organisations including City Hospitals Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust, South Tyneside NHS Foundation Trust, The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust, North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust and Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, along with Clinical Commissioning Groups and our Patient, Carer and Public Involvement (PCPI) participants. On successful completion of the course, graduate will be eligible to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) as a Registered Nurse (Adult). On the first year, students will be introduced to the requirements of becoming a registered nurse through studying and completing modules in professional practice and nursing practice. This combined with learning about physical and human science in preparation for students’ first clinical placements which will be held in local NHS Trusts. 50% of the time over the duration of the course will be in clinical practice under the supervision of registered practitioners, in a range of clinical settings in and out of hospital. A key aspect of this course is patient involvement and patient centred care, and students will have regular contact with Patient, Carer and Public Involvement (PCPI) members throughout the course, who all have experience and expertise as patients or carers.
