Nursing - Mental Health with Foundation Year (September intake)

About this course

Mental health nursing is a branch of nursing devoted to supporting people experiencing mental health difficulties, from acute crises requiring inpatient care to long-term conditions managed in the community. It is a profession built on therapeutic relationships, requiring the ability to engage with people who may be in considerable distress, to communicate with empathy and clarity, and to make careful clinical assessments that balance risk, autonomy, and the right to recovery. Mental health nurses are the most numerous mental health professionals in the NHS, working across hospitals, community teams, crisis services, forensic units, and many other settings. At Birmingham City University, this four-year programme includes a foundation year that builds the academic and contextual knowledge needed before you enter the main nursing degree. The nursing programme itself leads to registration
