Overview
Health and social care is evolving in our modern society. We’re seeing many changes to the way our healthcare systems work, from devolution in Greater Manchester to the integration of health and social care services, as well as the introduction of the new nursing associate role in England.
The Health and Care Practice (Nursing Associate) course from Manchester Metropolitan University will prepare you for a role as a nursing associate which is intended to complement registered nurses.
The nursing associate course offers new routes into registered nursing roles and shortened entry to honours degree nursing courses.
We’ve designed this two-year course to help you develop the practical clinical skills and techniques (such as how to do a blood pressure) you’ll need to work in health or social care settings, as well as the confidence to work as part of a larger team.
Career
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).
As a graduate, you’ll have the knowledge, understanding and skills to go into practice as a nursing associate. You can also go on to train as a registered nurse by undertaking one of our shortened nursing degree courses.
