Adult Nursing at University of Roehampton

Here at Roehampton we can help you achieve that with our new BSc (Hons) in Adult Nursing. You will be part of a unique and exciting programme, where you will have the opportunity to help shape your learning experience.

You will learn in brand new teaching facilities from expert clinical and academic staff and in a wide range of clinical placements. You will receive excellent support to ensure you achieve both academic and professional success.

On successful completion of the course you will graduate with Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) professional registration in Adult Nursing.

How you will learn

Our learning on the programme will be split between theory in the classroom and clinical practice in a range of placements and in the Clinical Simulation Centre (CSC).

You will develop theoretical knowledge through a variety of ‘blended learning’ approaches including lectures, seminars, group work, guided independent study, online learning, reflective practice and through preparation for a variety of assessments. You will be taught by expert staff and learn alongside nursing students and students from other health and care professions.

You will gain practical skills and experience through a range of clinical placements, such as community nursing (district nurses), primary care (general practice nurses), public health nursing (health visitors), care homes, hospices, rehabilitation centres and acute hospitals. You will be supported, supervised and assessed during placements by both clinical and academic staff.

You will also spend a significant amount of time learning in our state-of-the-art CSC. These brand new facilities include realistic community and in-hospital settings. Here you will safely practice clinical skills with other students, service users, role players and hi-tech patient simulators under the guidance of experienced clinical and academic staff.

You will also have the opportunity to organise an elective placement in the UK or abroad.

Clinical Simulation Centre

This purpose-built facility will have simulated community areas, such as practice nurse rooms and home environments and also a fully functioning simulated ward.

Learning will be facilitated by other students, service users and carers, role players and clinical and academic staff. The facilities will employ a range of specific teaching equipment, such as anatomical models, resuscitation manikins and also high-fidelity manikins. The CSC will include filming capability with options for recording, playback, review, debrief, live-streaming and assessment.
