This new blended learning course has been designed for self-motivated applicants with an undergraduate degree and healthcare experience, who are looking for a 2 year flexible route, resulting in eligibility to register as an Adult Nurse, with the NMC. The innovative approach to delivery means the majority of the theory element of the course will be delivered online, using a variety of virtual and blended learning strategies. As such its important you have access to your own IT equipment (laptop or desktop and reliable internet connection) and have a good level of IT proficiency. Don’t worry you will be fully supported to engage with the learning platforms, via a 2 week IT support package (mandatory), which you will undertake prior to starting the course. Whilst there is a lot of freedom to undertake the learning at a time that suits your needs, you will be expected to login on-line for up to 4 hrs, on two separate occasions each week (during theory blocks), at a set time, to engage with synchronous learning with your cohort. You will also be expected to attend campus for 40hrs a year (not consecutive), to engage in face to face simulation and mandatory training, which it is not possible for us to deliver on-line. Practice placements will take place in the clinical environment with our local NHS and Private, Voluntary and Independent partners in North West London/Reading and Berkshire, supported by practice-orientated simulation activities. You will be able to negotiate to some extent when you undertake these hours, within a specified block of time. However, you will be expected to work the shift pattern adopted by your placement area i.e. 12hr days, 7.5hr days etc. There will be a requirement to work days, nights, weekends and bank holidays during your course to ensure you experience care giving, during the whole 24hr period. Whilst this is a 2 year full time course, this creative, flexible delivery model enables you to more easily balance your studies with other personal commitments. Students studying this course may be eligible to receive a non-repayable grant of at least £5,000 each year. Further information is available on the NHS Learning Support Fund Website. As a successful graduate you will be eligible to register with the NMC, as an adult nurse. Many of the graduates find work with local NHS Trusts or healthcare organisations. Alternatively, you could continue your studies at UWL. This will help you to enhance your clinical knowledge and skills in a specialist area. CNMH offers the following academic progression opportunities: • Development of specialist knowledge and skills post registration via our CPD offer (stand-alone credit and non-credit bearing modules and courses) • Further academic development and progression via our PhD/Professional Doctorate courses.
