Why study this course?
You will be taught and trained as an adult nurse who is confident and competent
in delivering excellent, person centred care in a range of settings. Our course will
prepare you to meet evolving health needs.
Adult Nursing at Keele develops adult nurses who deliver excellent
evidence-based practice in a range of care settings and who place the
patient at the centre of decision making by promoting dignity, care, and
compassion. You will develop the ability to assess, plan, implement,
evaluate, and monitor care safely and effectively. By taking a person-
centred approach to care delivery, you will initially focus on meeting
people’s essential care needs and, as you progress through your second
and third years, you will develop the skills and capabilities to assess,
provide, and manage the complex care needs of individuals and groups
of people.
Students’ clinical and academic skills are developed within a strong and
established system of support through personal tutors in the school and
clinical mentors in placements. Placements run throughout the 3 year
course. To develop your skills in academic writing, reflection, critical thinking
and decision making, a small group approach to learning is adopted
whereby you are supported by your personal tutor. This is complemented
by lectures, online activities, individual tutorials, directed study, and
skills-based learning in the school’s Clinical Skills Laboratories. Learning
in the School of Nursing and Midwifery is enhanced by superb classroom
facilities, an excellent Health Library, computer suite, and established
relationships with local primary and secondary health care providers.
