The programme is
delivered by a specialist team of nursing academics and clinicians who will
support students at every stage.
Our professional team
have a wealth of experience, who are registrants with the NMC and are actively
engaged with research. They share a passion for nursing and health care,
which is naturally passed to students.
Throughout the degree, students will have access to
ongoing support through a Programme Leader, dedicated Personal Tutor and our
Practice Learning Team (PLT).
As an apprentice, students will reap the benefits
of workplace learning and to add to this they will have access to our Clinical
Skills Centre, based at Coach Lane campus that includes some of the most
advanced healthcare facilities in the country. Facilities that ensures learning
will progress in parallel with the latest developments in the healthcare
industry. Its virtual reality equipment, High Fidelity Simulated Mannequins
(SimMan, SimJunior and SimBaby), and immersive technologies will allow students
to practise skills and develop confidence in clinical ability within a safe
environment.
University study will make-up 20% of the apprentice’s
weekly learning and timely face-to-face contact will be essential.
Attendance at tutor-led sessions is very important, however as employees,
we appreciate apprentices may unavoidably miss an occasionally taught class,
therefore, all learning and teaching materials will be available via a virtual
classroom and accessible to students remotely. Students will also be allocated
an academic coach who will provide support in respect of academic development.
Whilst on campus, students will have access to the
University’s exceptional facilities including social spaces, IT facilities and
lecture theatres and not forgetting 24/7 access to our award winner University
Library.
