Overview

Our aim is to make sure we prepare you for the challenges you may face and develop the expertise you’ll need to become a leader in nursing.

Mental health and wellbeing is a growing health concern for our society. During this accelerated Mental Health Nursing (Pre-registration) two-year course from Manchester Metropolitan University, you'll gain the experience and skills required to practice as a mental health nurse in two years, rather than three. You’ll develop the expertise to manage both the physical and psychological needs of patients.

You’ll spend half of your time studying in clinical placements or simulation-based learning in a variety of settings, with support from a practice supervisor/assessor or academic throughout.

Some of the topics you’ll explore include the ethics of medicine management, recovery approaches, and intervention therapies for substance abuse. You’ll also learn practical skills in conflict resolution, how to manage challenging behaviour, and how to safeguard vulnerable patients.

Career

When you graduate, you’ll gain a masters degree (MSc) and eligibility to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).

You might choose to work with certain groups, such as young people or offenders, or focus on a particular issue such as eating disorders.

You will often work as part of a multidisciplinary team with psychiatrists, psychologists, GPs, social workers and other health professionals.

You may work in a variety of settings including community healthcare centres, specialist units and secure residential units or with your patients in their own homes.
