Mental Health Nursing

About this course

Mental health nursing is concerned with supporting people through some of the most challenging experiences a person can face: psychosis, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, addiction, eating disorders, and the range of conditions that affect emotional and psychological wellbeing. It is a profession that combines clinical knowledge with relational skill, requiring nurses who can form therapeutic relationships, assess risk thoughtfully, and deliver care that is person-centred, evidence-based and ethically grounded. Mental health nursing is practised across a wide range of settings, from acute inpatient wards to community teams, crisis services and voluntary sector organisations. At London South Bank University this three-year programme includes a foundation year option for students who need an additional preparatory stage before the main nursing curriculum.
