Course summary
The nursing associate role has been developed in England to meet workforce needs. Nursing Associates act as a vital bridge between healthcare support workers and registered nurses, providing essential care and support across various health and social care settings, including hospitals, care homes, hospices, GP practices, social care and community services.
The responsibilities of a registered Nursing Associate will vary depending on the setting, but typically include:
- Monitoring and recording clinical observations such as blood pressure, temperature, respiration, and pulse
- Performing clinical tasks like venepuncture and ECGs
- Providing emotional support to individuals facing complex diagnoses and life-changing news
- Communicating and collaborating with healthcare professionals to share patient assessments and observations
- Upholding patient dignity, privacy, and safety at all times
- Identifying and responding to safeguarding concerns involving vulnerable adults and children.
Our new and innovative Nursing Associate Foundation Degree will equip you with the expertise and confidence needed to excel in this rewarding role. It will enable you to develop the knowledge and skills required to deliver high-quality, safe, and compassionate care to individuals, their families and carers.
The Foundation Degree is delivered in collaboration with our practice learning partners in central and northeast London and Kent. It is designed to provide an equal balance of theory and practice in line with the NMC programme requirements, whereby students have to complete 1150 hours in practice-based learning and 1150 hours in theoretical learning.
Upon successful completion of this course, you can register as a nursing associate with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).

Course structure
This course blends practical and theoretical learning over 45 weeks each year. Teaching includes lectures, seminars, tutorials, enquiry-based learning, skills development and simulated activities in a state-of-the-art simulation suite. You will spend 50% of your time in practice-based learning across NHS Trusts, social care, and independent healthcare settings. Person-centred care underpins the curriculum, with themes of wellbeing, resilience, public health, quality improvement, and safeguarding. Professional Practice Modules and skills sessions build confidence and competence, with progress assessed through both practical and academic assessments.
We aim to offer a wide range of option modules. However, availability may be affected by timetabling, staff availability, or student demand, so preferred choices cannot always be guaranteed.
Core modules:
- Developing Personal, Professional and Academic Skills
for Person Centred Care - Professional Practice One (Nursing Associate)
- Psychology and Sociology of Health and Well-Being
- Sciences Underpinning Professional Practice
Credit Level 4
Core modules:
- Evidence Based Practice
- Medicines Management
- Professional Practice Two (Nursing Associate)
- Recognising and Responding to Illness and Injury Across the Lifecourse
- Transitioning to Registered Nursing Associate
Credit Level 5
The NMC requires that the curriculum provides an equal balance of 50 percent theory and 50 percent practice learning. You will therefore be required to complete 1150 hours of theory and 1150 hours of practice learning across the course. To be able to successfully complete the course, you will be required to evidence 2,300 course hours.
Therefore, in addition to your academic study, you will be required to attend practice placements in different healthcare settings, across the course.
Nursing associate students are not required to have placements in each field of nursing, but you will benefit from experience of children and adults, and people who use services / patients with mental health conditions and learning disabilities, and understand the most significant factors to be aware of when providing care to different people who use services
You will follow a placement pathway which will ensure that you experience care delivery across the lifecourse and across each field of nursing – adult nursing, children’s services, learning disability and mental health care. These experiences will be across health and social care settings.
In practice all students must be appropriately supervised until they have demonstrated proficiency in aspects of care. Therefore, during each placement, you’ll be guided by a Practice Supervisor who you will work with on each shift. You will also have a Practice Assessor in each placement who will be responsible for assessing your progress. These are registered practitioners, including registered nursing associates/nurses, who will offer support, teaching, and constructive feedback to enable you to achieve the required level of proficiency expected of a registered nursing associate.
Please note that there will be an expectation to travel to and from placements, and you will be expected to work the shift patterns set by the organisation. You will also be required to work weekends and night duty during the course.
Professional accreditation
This course is subject to confirmation of approval by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and is mapped against the Standards for Pre-registration nursing associate programmes (NMC, 2023). Students must successfully complete the course in order to be eligible to apply to join the NMC register.
