NURSING WITH PLYMOUTH UNIVERSITY

TRURO INFORMATION DAY17 OCTOBER 2015 • 10:30–14:30

We are delighted to welcome you to our Information Day at the Knowledge Spa, Cornwall. Visiting us is the best way to get an impression of what it would feel like to be part of the BSc (Hons) Nursing programme for the Adult Nursing field, delivered by Plymouth University. You can meet our respected academic staff and our professional support team. In addition to prospective classmates, who might become new friends for life. Your time here provides an opportunity to sample not only the first-class facilities available, but also the vibrant atmosphere of the South West.

The BSc (Hons) Nursing programme, Adult Nursing field is delivered by the Faculty of Health and Human Sciences both on the Plymouth campus and at the Knowledge Spa, Truro. For students, the complexity of healthcare can be overwhelming and it is important that you are equipped for employability as well as achieving the requirements for registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council. We aim for our graduates to demonstrate the knowledge, skills, enterprise, creativity and drive to make a positive difference, both as innovative 21st century nursing professionals and as responsible and globally-engaged citizens. It is important that you are the graduates of choice for employers, not only in the South West but nationally and internationally. The demand for places within the adult nursing field is competitive with a ratio of four applicants per place.

This programme offers a distinctive student experience that goes beyond the curriculum, providing the foundation for lifelong learning.

Our graduates have been employed in the public and private sectors, in hospitals and community, in operating departments, emergency departments and in the field of mental health practice.

Both sites offer exceptional facilities to support student learning, with a commitment to preparing the student for their role as a registered nurse. As a Health student at Truro you will share, with medicine and dentistry students, modern lecture and seminar rooms, an excellent clinical skills lab, computer facilities and a modern health focussed library; all the facilities you would expect of a first class university. The Knowledge Spa also has close links with the Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust, Peninsula Community Healthcare Trust and Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, all of whom enhance the clinical expertise delivered throughout the programme.

We hope that over the course of the day you will get a real sense of the opportunity that is at the heart of our community. We hope you will be impressed with the experience and our very real commitment to our students.

We wish you a very enjoyable and informative visit and hope to meet you on the day.
