We are celebrating the achievements of the first cohort of students who worked toward the Foundation Degree Nursing Associate during this full-time program.
University Centre Somerset, in partnership with health and integrated care employers and the University of the West of England, have developed this foundation degree which combines theoretical study with workplace learning, providing trainees with knowledge and practical experience to enable them to deliver high quality patient care.
The Nursing Associate is a new job role in health and integrated care designed to bridge the gap between Health Care Assistants and Registered Nurses.
