All our pre-registration programmes, at both BSc and MSc level, include the academic and clinical education required to become a registered nurse and obtain professional registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) on graduation.
Access to simulation labs with various manikins allowed us to practice interventions and procedures before starting placement, boosting our confidence and competence in areas we hadn’t experienced before to feel more prepared for real-world scenarios.
