From being able to refer to policies and procedures, to pharmacology, treating pressure ulcers and assessing and making the right care-decisions for a patient, you’ll understand how to work as critically reflective, resilient practitioners, with an ability to learn from experience and solve problems.  

Our team of experienced and dedicated lecturers have a collective wealth of knowledge from working in a range of health care and clinical environments across the NHS and private sector.

The curriculum includes core and field specific learning and teaching. This allows students from adult, mental health and children’s nursing courses to be taught and learn together, so you can benefit from their individual experiences, share insights and offer competing perspectives. You’ll be able to demonstrate your awareness of, and competence in working within, the multi-disciplinary teams within practice environments.

This innovative curriculum reflects Buckinghamshire New University’s core values of creating a learning environment that is inclusive, challenging and promotes collaboration, professionalism, and confidence in our students.
