We have developed this exciting degree in collaboration with Sunderland CARE Academy partner organisations including Sunderland and South Tyneside, Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals, County Durham and Darlington, North Tees and Hartlepool, Clinical Commissioning Groups and our Patient, Carer and Public Involvement (PCPI) participants.

On successful completion of the course, you will be eligible to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) as a Registered Nurse (Adult).

This course is one of the new initiatives supporting increasing availability and access to nursing education and is not NHS funded.

A key aspect of our course is patient involvement and patient centred care, and you will have regular contact with our Patient, Carer and Public Involvement (PCPI) members throughout the course, who all have experience and expertise as patients or carers.

As a nurse, you will need to demonstrate compassionate and caring approaches to patients and interprofessional working in the healthcare workforce and the programme provides you with opportunities to learn and work alongside other students and staff from a range of disciplines, as part of the School of Nursing and Health Sciences.
