Overview
This course has been designed for those who would like to become a nurse and are located within the North East, Yorkshire and the Humber, Cheshire and Merseyside, North West, Cumbria or North Lincolnshire. If you are located outside these areas please visit Health Education England for information on your nearest course provider. This blended learning apprenticeship course has been designed to provide a flexible way to study whilst being employed in child healthcare services. During this apprenticeship you’ll get the opportunity to develop the vital skills, values and confidence you need to care for children, young people and their families whatever their circumstances, including those with acute illness, long-term conditions or those who need help to maintain their health. In line with the apprenticeship model, the course is designed to support a training in practice approach. Whilst undertaking the course you’ll remain employed by your host organisation. You will spend one day a week working for your employer. The other 30 hours a week will be either on placement in clinical practice or in university. The course is designed to be progressively demanding and once qualified you’ll be eligible to apply for registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and work as a Registered Nurse for Children. If you’re thinking of studying an apprenticeship course or are an employer looking for an apprenticeship for your employees, you’ll also find useful information on our Degree Apprenticeship webpages. This course provides a flexible way to study, using mainly digital technologies; it also incorporates practical, hands-on experience. You’ll attend the campus in Huddersfield for a maximum total of 20 days per year of the course. This provides the opportunity for you to put your skills into practice in a safe and controlled environment in our children’s ward, using patient simulators and attending occupational health sessions and mandatory training.
