About the programme
The Cardiff Bachelor of Nursing (BN) is an innovative and contemporary programme, redesigned for 2012 to meet the new Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) 2010 standards. Students specialise in one of three fields of nursing (Adult, Child or Mental Health) from the start of the programme. The integrated nature of the programme enables students from all three fields to learn together, sharing ideas while focusing on the needs of their individual field.
Mental health nurses work with individuals, families and carers to offer help and support in dealing with a wide variety of mental health conditions. They may specialise in working with children and young people, older people or working age adults. The Cardiff nursing programme is designed to develop practitioners with the skills and knowledge to work in a dynamic, changing health care environment. During your time as a student at Cardiff you will learn about promoting health, preventing illness and delivering high quality, holistic care that is based on sound evidence.
