Nursing BSc (Hons) (Adult, Children's & Mental Health)

There are three distinct Nursing courses, each allowing you to specialise in a specific field of practice.

Adult nursing - B740

The adult nursing field of practice modules focus on the needs of adults with a diverse range of health and dependency needs, including physical and emotional care requirements, particularly addressing the needs of the ageing population. Adult field of practice nurses will be articulate, flexible, decision makers able to promote health and well-being, prioritise effective care and implement evidence-based nursing practice. They will work collaboratively with the inter-professional team, service users and their families, respecting their rights, choices and wishes. The emphasis is on providing a high quality experience for all service users, in a wide range of healthcare settings.

Childrens nursing - B730

Meeting the specific needs of children, young people and their families is at the core of childrens nursing. The programme aims to produce safe and responsive practitioners who can work effectively across traditional boundaries in a collaborative way, providing high quality child and family centred care that meets the demands of integrated child health and social care provision. Future childrens nurses need to be able to empower each child and their family to receive individualised care, enabling each child to reach their full potential.

Mental health nursing - B760

The mental health nursing field of practice recognises the inclusion of service users and carers as an integral part of the delivery of the programme. This will ensure that person-centred recovery processes are addressed throughout the programme in the development of the student. The mental health field of practice modules will be further informed by critical engagement with current mental health agendas and developments.

  "From the moment I arrived on campus for my interview, I knew the University of Worcester was where I wanted to complete my training. The course has been brilliant in preparing me for when I qualify, and I feel that it was the best decision I have ever made in returning to education. I feel the skills I have learnt and developed in my time at the University of Worcester will most definitely help me secure a staff nurse position. I also feel they will help me in my future career progression."
