Course Summary

INTRODUCTION

At the University of Salford you will be welcomed into a relaxed and friendly environment, with access to facilities, support and opportunities that will enable you to succeed. On this course you will learn in our state-of-the-art simulation suites as part of a multidisciplinary team and prepare for a career as a Registered Nurse.

You will:

  • Benefit from the experience of a multi-discplinary team
  • Gain practical experience both on site and on placement
  • Work towards NMC registration

ALL ABOUT THE COURSE

Our Nursing programmes embody a shared philosophy that represents the values and beliefs of key partners, including: students, patients, service users and families, practice colleagues and university staff. Theoretical underpinnings of the philosophy include: nursing ethics, personalised care, and a safety model ensuring the safety and protection of people of all ages and their carers and families.

Key concepts support the development of professional behaviours, inter-professional working, values and attitudes expected of a compassionate nurse, such as: connectedness, emotional intelligence, and moral responsibility and creativity.

You will work with staff and clinical partners as co-producers in your learning experience. A coaching approach to personal tutoring will unlock your potential and character development as a professional nurse. A wealth of facilities at university are available to you, including formal teaching, group and one-to-one sessions, a comfortable and enriching learning space with state-of-the-art-clinical and immersive simulation suites.

CAREER LINKS

You will work alongside a practice supervisor and assessor in the clinical practice areas where you will experience a wide variety of care-giving settings.

You will be expected to work the same shift patterns as your practice supervisors (including weekends and night duty) and will need to be able to travel to and from clinical placements.

You will spend half of your time at the University and the other half working in a range of clinical areas including the NHS, Private, Independent and Voluntary organisations.

Modules

Bringing your existing experience to this first year module, you will explore the management of care for a range of patients within the children and young people (CYP) field of practice. This will be achieved through examining your role as a future CYP nurse in the delivery of care and the support of children, young people, their carers and families within a multi-professional team. Using case examples and the participation in simulated scenarios, you will consider how to develop and apply your own professional identity within the context of an inter-professional and integrated health and social care environment.
