Course summary
The FdSc Nursing Associate programme aims to produce compassionate, competent, and confident nursing associates at academic level 5 qualified to deliver a wide range of clinical, care and inter-personal skills underpinned by a systematic knowledge base. They will be able to practice safely and effectively within their parameters of practice, demonstrating appropriate values and behaviours in a wide range of health and care settings.
To support your learning and development during this course, you will be supported by academic assessors, practice assessors and practice supervisors (NMC, 2023). You will demonstrate the development of your knowledge, skills and behaviours by achieving the NMC Standards of Proficiency for nursing associates (NMC, 2018) reflecting the six platforms:
- Platform 1 – Being an accountable professional.
- Platform 2 – Promoting health and preventing ill health.
- Platform 3 – Provide and monitor care.
- Platform 4 – Working in teams.
- Platform 5 – Improving safety and quality of care.
- Platform 6 – Contributing to integrated care.
As work-based learning remains central to the successful completion of the programme, you will have the opportunity to combine your previous experience with your newly acquired knowledge and apply this immediately into your practice. Collaboration between the University and work-based partners is fundamental to the programme.
