The Nursing Associate is a new role within the nursing team. Nursing associates work with healthcare support workers and registered nurses to deliver care to our patients.  To become a Nursing Associate a 2 year programme as a Trainee Nursing Associate has to be undertaken.   

All university costs for the programme will be fully funded and the programme combines both academic and work-based learning in the physical, psychological and public health aspects of care, from pre-conception to end of life.  The programme is structured and gives experience a wide variety of placements across health and social care sectors in different organisations, with the aim of giving trainees the widest exposure to healthcare.

The Nursing Associate would suit a school or college leaver interested in nursing or a non-registered healthcare professional looking for the next step in your career.
