Adult nursing
"Adult nurses work with old and young adults with diverse health conditions, both chronic and acute. They juggle numerous priorities and use caring, counselling, managing, teaching and all aspects of interpersonal skills to improve the quality of patients’ lives, sometimes in difficult situations. Depending on experience and training, adult nurses can hold positions at most levels of the NHS career framework.
As a nurse in the adult branch you will be working at the centre of a multi professional team that includes doctors, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, pharmacists, radiographers, healthcare assistants and many others.
You will have close contact with patients and their families. As part of your training you'll learn how to assess, plan, implement and evaluate care for individual patients. To ensure consistency between nurses you need to record progress. You can be hospital based or work in the community (where more and more healthcare is being delivered)" NHS Careers
With this in mind our adult field is developed to enable students achieve the necessary knowledge, skills and professional attitudes required to care for adult patients so that on completion of the course they will be able to seek employment in a wide range of settings.
