Nursing (Blended Learning) (Mental Health) BSc (Hons)

Mental Health nursing involves working with people, their families, carers, and communities – all of whom may experience the impact of mental illness. This includes people with formal diagnoses, such as psychosis, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, and personality disorders, as well as those who do not accept or recognise these diagnostic labels. <br/><br/>Our Nursing (Blended Learning) Mental Health BSc(Hons) course has been designed to help you become a confident, competent, and compassionate nurse, with our team supporting you to develop the intellectual, personal, and professional skills you need. <br/><br/>If you would like to become a Mental Health nurse and are in the North East, Yorkshire and the Humber, Cheshire and Merseyside, North West, Cumbria or North Lincolnshire, this course is for you.
