Course summary

Overview

This blended learning course welcomes self-motivated applicants with an undergraduate degree and healthcare experience. We offer a 2 year flexible route, resulting in eligibility to register as a Learning Disabilities nurse, with the NMC.

The majority of the theory elements of the course will be delivered online, using a variety of virtual and blended learning strategies. As such it’s important you have access to your own IT equipment (laptop or desktop device and a reliable internet connection) and have a good level of IT proficiency. You will be fully supported to engage with the learning platforms, via a 2-week IT support package (mandatory), which you will undertake prior to starting the course.

Whilst there is a lot of freedom to undertake the learning at a time that suits your needs, you will be expected to log in online, at a set time each week during theory blocks, to engage with synchronous learning with your cohort. You will also be expected to attend campus, to engage in face-to-face simulation and mandatory training, which it is not possible for us to deliver online. The face-to-face theory, simulation and mandatory training and practice placements will equate to a minimum of 24 weeks per year.

Practice placements will take place in the clinical environment with NHS and Private, Voluntary and Independent partners, supported by practice-orientated simulation activities. You will be able to negotiate to some extent when you undertake these hours, within a specified block of time. However, you will be expected to work the shift pattern adopted by your placement area i.e. 12hr days, 7.5hr days etc. There will be a requirement to work days, nights, weekends and bank holidays during your course to ensure you experience caregiving, during the whole 24-hour period.

Whilst this is a 2 year full-time course, this creative, flexible delivery model enables you to balance your studies with other personal commitments. This course is run at our West London campus but it is also offered at the Berkshire Institute for Health in Reading.
