Adult Care Nursing

Adult nursing specialises in caring for and supporting vulnerable adults in a variety of settings, including hospital, community and the independent and voluntary sectors. Our undergraduate courses have been designed, developed and are delivered to recognise the core values of the NHS and the required standards of our accrediting body, the Nursing and Midwifery Council.  Nursing is a challenging profession, both mentally and physically, which carries a great deal of responsibility. Adult nurses care for people across the lifespan including young adults and others with acute and long-term illnesses. They work as part of a multi-disciplinary team alongside doctors, physiotherapists, anaesthetists, pharmacists, dieticians and many others.  

DURATIONS: 36 - 48MONTHS
