The Heart of Healthcare
Nursing professionals play a vital role in the provision of healthcare. They plan and provide specialist care to a variety of patients and their conditions in a range of areas including hospitals, home, or community settings. They also work closely with doctors and other medical professionals to administer medical treatments within their scope to ensure optimum patient comfort and provide reassurance to their patients' families.
Nursing at Lincoln offers three distinct nursing programmes specialising in adult, child, and mental health. Each of these courses are professionally accredited, enabling students to become registered nurses with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). All of the programmes aim to prepare students to become fit for practice in accordance with the NMC's Standards for Pre-registration Nursing Education and to be eligible to register as a qualified nurse and work in an NHS clinical setting.
