Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Nursing - Mental Health
Program Overview
Could you make a meaningful impact in the field of mental health nursing? Would you like to unlock the door to a fulfilling career that offers multiple possibilities? Modern society understands that our mental health is as important as our physical health; throughout our Nursing (Mental Health) BSc you will acquire the knowledge, skills and empathy to develop into a competent mental health nurse. You will study essential nursing theory and gain practical experience in our excellent clinical simulation facilities and out on placement, so you can confidently work in partnership with service users, their families and the wider community.
Mental health nurses support and care for individuals experiencing mental ill health and play a crucial role in positively impacting and influencing outcomes. Person- centred care is at the heart of our programme, which acknowledges that all people are individuals with physical, emotional, social, and cultural needs. Severe and enduring mental illness can adversely affect someone’s physical health, so health promotion and education will be key aspects of your role as a mental health nurse.
Our mental health nursing programme aims to produce nurses who are self-aware, reflective and are a positive role model for the people in their care, displaying resilience and compassion. You will apply your skills, identifying opportunities to educate and support people at every stage of their lives. Underpinning this will be early intervention in children and young people’s mental health, recognising the impact of adverse childhood experiences on mental health across the lifespan. It is also recognised that by 2025, over a million people in the UK will be diagnosed with dementia (Alzheimer’s’ Society 2019) and mental health nurses will be pivotal in prevention, early identification, assessment, and intervention for cognitive impairment.
As a future nurse you will require strong communication skills, facilitating positive therapeutic engagement with service users, their families, and other professionals as you manage complex care with service users in your care. You will develop high level interpersonal and clinical skills that will enable you to work within an evidence-based framework delivering complex therapeutic interventions such as motivational interviewing and cognitive behaviour therapy.
You will gain the theoretical knowledge required to be able to practice confidently and competently, whilst also giving you the opportunity to develop and refine your clinical skills in a safe and controlled setting before going onto clinical placement.
