Course summary

Equal value is placed on theory and practice for the duration of the FdSc Nursing Associate programme, so 50% of your time on this course will be spent on placement. You’ll cover all areas of nursing practice (adult, children's, mental health and learning disability) in the NHS as well as private, voluntary and independent sectors. Placement settings will include hospitals, nursing homes, GP surgeries, clinics, and more. Throughout the length of the course, you will be introduced to essential knowledge that a nursing associate is required to understand to enable the delivery of effective person-centred care, including the ability to research and study independently and work with student colleagues. At the end of this course, you'll be eligible to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and practise as a nursing associate. You'll also be able to complete further training through a top-up course or degree apprenticeship to qualify as a nurse.
