Program Description
Mental Health Nurses support and care for individuals experiencing mental ill health and play a crucial role in positively impacting and influencing the outcomes of their service users. 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.MULTIDISCIPLINARY LEARNING
We believe a multidisciplinary approach to teaching is the key to developing an effective global health care workforce. You will benefit from inter-professional education by learning alongside other nursing students from different fields and aspiring healthcare professionals such as medical, physiotherapy and pharmacy students. This exposure allows you to appreciate the role that each healthcare professional plays in a person’s journey - a critical factor for success within the clinical setting.OUR FACILITIES
You will gain evidence-based practice experience that supports the ethos of dignity, care, and compassion for patients. Your learning will be enhanced by our excellent facilities including an anatomy suite and health and campus libraries. Innovative teaching methods including High Fidelity Simulation and skill-based development in our Clinical Skills Lab.STRENGTHENING YOUR EMPLOYABILITY
PLACEMENTS
We have strong partnerships with placement providers including NHS trusts, and the private and voluntary sectors. An important part of becoming a nurse is gaining real experience in diverse environments. Mental health field placements provide a range of experiences to expand your professional values and nursing skills linking the theory you have learnt in the lectures with practice. This enhances your employability, increases your confidence, and fully develops your nursing expertise. 50% of your time is spent on clinical practice in different health care settings. Placements take place within a 60-mile radius of Keele across NHS trusts and the independent health and social care sector. You will be supported in practice by clinical supervisors and assessed by a practice assessor and reviewed by an academic assessor. This ensures you practice safely and allows you to learn from clinicians who have a wealth of experience in their field. You may also choose to study abroad through elective placements with organisations like Work the World.STUDENT SUPPORT
