Overview

About your course Do you aspire to work in the nursing profession, but don't currently have the A Level or BTEC qualifications to apply?

Working closely with registered nurses and healthcare support workers, nursing associate duties can include: performing and recording clinical observations, for example, blood pressure, temperature, respirations and pulse undertaking clinical tasks including venepuncture (taking bloods) and electrocardiograms (ECGs) supporting individuals and their families and carers at emotionally difficult times during their care discussing and sharing information with registered nurses on a patient's condition, behaviour, activity and responses ensuring the privacy, dignity and safety of individuals is maintained at all times recognising issues relating to safeguarding vulnerable children and adults. You can read more about the role of a nursing associate on the NHS Health Careers website. LJMU's FdSc Nursing Associate gives you lots of chances for hands on clinical skills practice, whilst supporting you to develop a robust knowledge base. Our professional tutors, student mentors and support staff are all here to help you progress through the foundation degree confidently and successfully.
