Mental Health Nursing students are encouraged to develop skills in independent learning, critical analysis, leadership, management, and decision-making. Students will acquire the knowledge, values, understanding, and skills necessary to care for individuals to enhance their recovery from mental illness and promote mental health and wellbeing.
Mental health nursing entails working closely with individuals to help them achieve self-care and independence within a professional context. This developmental process for the individual being cared for, demands the nurse to possess the highest levels of interpersonal and intrapersonal skills.
Personal insight and emotional maturity stand as essential attributes of a qualified mental health nurse. This course aims to cultivate both these qualities, recognising them as vital to effective practice.
The School of Nursing, Midwifery and Public Health is steadfast in integrating the NHS Constitution Values into every aspect of our endeavours. These values define the conduct and expectations of both our staff and students, serving as the foundation for our work within the University and in practice settings.
This course provides students with an opportunity to focus on the distinct health needs of service users and their families/carers. Nursing inherently involves collaboration with diverse individuals accessing healthcare services, encompassing a wide spectrum of ages and circumstances, including short or longer-term mental health experiences, along with the associated complexities of physical, social, and emotional needs.
Each semester comprises an equal distribution of 50% practice and 50% theory. Students will need to travel across various sites in Suffolk as part of their placements. Hence, access to transportation or a car would be advantageous. Nonetheless, alternative options are available for non-drivers, and the course team can provide additional information upon request.
