Mental Health Nursing with Foundation Year - BNurs (Hons)

Mental health nurses work with people experiencing mental health difficulties across the lifespan. At the core of a mental health nurse's role is the ability to establish trusting therapeutic relationships with service users and with their families and carers. As a mental health nurse you would care for people affected by a range of mental health difficulties, for example: anxiety; depression; eating disorders; psychological trauma; psychosis; and dementia. Mental health nurses support individuals and their families in a wide variety of settings, including in their own homes; GP practices; primary care facilities; specialist nursing homes; hospitals (both general and mental health); prisons; community mental health nursing; and forensic mental health units. Whatever your client group, you will use professional expertise, skills and knowledge to promote recovery and positive mental health.
