Adult and Mental Health Nursing Liverpool John Moores University

Overview

The Adult and Mental Health Nursing programme is offered at Liverpool John Moores University fantastic option if you're not sure yet which field of nursing you want to work in - Adult or Mental Health - or if you aspire to a specialist career route or role that requires skills in both fields.

Career paths

Successful completion of the course will allow you to apply for NMC registration as a nurse in both fields; as an Adult Nurse and as a Mental Health Nurse.

You will then be able to apply for Band 5 nursing posts within the NHS, private sector and voluntary sector. You could apply for roles in either field, or for posts that require a experience of both mental health and adult nursing. 

You will need to register your nursing qualifications within five years of completing your course. As a constantly evolving profession, the NMC requires you to revalidate every three years in order to maintain your registration.  

Health service delivery is increasingly integrated. As such, there is a demand for nurses that can work with complex conditions, across the lifespan and within different settings. Your dual registration increases your versatility, which can lead to you being highly employable.  

Some graduates prefer to pursue careers in teaching, research or management, or continue their studies. Your Integrated Master's degree shows you have studied at a higher level than a standard BSc (level 6) nursing degree, which means you may be able to access education linked to advanced roles more easily.
