Overview

Key facts

Manchester Metropolitan University has designed this two-year Health and Care Practice (Nursing Associate) course to help you develop the practical clinical skills and techniques (such as how to give an injection) you’ll need to work in health or social care settings, as well as the confidence to work as part of a larger team.

You’ll practice clinical skills alongside students on our BSc (Hons) Adult Nursing course, in our Clinical Simulation Suite.
You’ll also work with them on the simulated scenarios we create there, such as major trauma management where a patient involved in a motorbike accident arrives who needs stabilising and emergency care. It’s a fantastic way to learn how to operate as part of a team and explore ways you’ll work with nurses to support patients.

Careers

As a nursing associate, your role sits between a healthcare assistant and a registered nurse, and you could work across any of the four fields of nursing (adult, child, mental health, and learning disability).
