Overview

Learning Disability and Mental Health Nursing (Hons) from University of Chester provides you with an equally weighted dual field NMC qualification in both Learning Disability Nursing and your second chosen field (Mental Health Nursing).

In Years 1-3, you will complete 360 credits whilst following the BN (Hons) Learning Disability Nursing course. You will learn to become a Learning Disability Nurse, working in partnership with people with learning disabilities of all ages, maintaining their holistic health and wellbeing and helping them to live their lives as fully and independently as possible.

Career:

Having dual field nursing registration means you have the ability to work in one field at a time, or combine the two fields and specialise in key areas such as accident and emergency departments (Adult/ Child, Adult/Mental Health fields), mental health and learning disability facilities that care for patients with chronic or acute physical illness (Adult/Mental Health or Learning Disability/Adult fields), or children and young people’s mental health support services (Child/Mental Health fields ), to name a few.
