A nursing associate is a new and vital member of the wider nursing team in England. This is a stand-alone role which is designed to help bridge the gap between health and care assistants and registered nurses.
Nursing associates work with people of all ages and in a variety of settings in health and social care. The role will contribute to the core work of nursing, freeing up registered nurses to focus on more complex clinical care.
The School of Health and Social Care works closely with our health care partners to provide students with the opportunity to study for a Nursing Associate Foundation degree (FdSc).
The course combines work-based and directed learning and education specific to becoming a Nursing Associate, which upon successful completion leads to a Foundation degree and professional recognition, enabling you to register as a Nursing Associate with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).

About this course
Upon completion of this FdSc Nursing Associate programme, once registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council, you may work as a stand-alone nursing registrant in a range of diverse health and social care settings, from acute nursing to community care with the opportunity for further study.
Progressing towards a ‘top up’ degree to become a registered nurse with a BSc (Hons) will provide the chance to expand your skills into education, research, and health management. Some graduates may also choose to progress their studies at postgraduate level.
This programme is suitable for new and existing health and social care staff, who are responsible for delivering direct services and who have the potential to take on greater challenges and responsibility as qualified Nursing Associates.
Applicants need to demonstrate their ability to study academic subjects at foundation degree level, debate topics and issues, study independently as well as a member of a group, and successfully complete a range of assignments including researched essays and practical tests.
Applicants must also have the right of abode in the UK.
