The Nursing - Dual Registration programme provides the opportunity for nurses to be registered in two fields of practice, Mental Health and Adult. As you broaden your skills across two fields, this mix will enhance your appeal to employers, particularly in remote and rural areas where there is known demand for such a wide skillset.

You’ll be equipped to deliver high-quality, person-centred and evidence-based care in a variety of contexts. We have strong links with hospitals, community and service users ensuring you learn the skills that are relevant now and will stand you in good stead for the future. 50% of your time on the course will be spent on practice placements, preparing you for 24/7 nature of nursing and the working world.
