Our adult听nursing course is delivered at both our Lansdowne Campus, Bournemouth and Yeovil Campus, Yeovil;听and you can indicate upon application which campus you'd prefer to be based at. Our Lansdowne campus is located in Bournemouth town centre housing all of our Faculty of Health & Social Sciences students.听听听听

Our Yeovil Campus is a听teaching base dedicated to our adult nursing students. With its own lecture theatres, seminar rooms and social space you'll benefit from听a dedicated campus for your teaching experience.

Practical skills are taught locally at Yeovil District Hospital where the library is also based. If you are studying at our Yeovil Campus you will undertake your听placements in the Somerset vicinity. You will also visit our Lansdowne Campus in Bournemouth for some of your听teaching.听

Programme specifications provide definitive records of the university's taught degrees in line with Quality Assurance Agency requirements. Every taught course leading to a BU Award has a programme specification which describes its aims, structure, content and learning outcomes, plus the teaching, learning and assessment methods used.

Whilst every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the programme specification, the information is liable to change to take advantage of exciting new approaches to teaching and learning as well as developments in industry.

If you have been unable to locate the programme specification for the course you are interested in, it will be available as soon as the latest version is ready. Alternatively please听contact us听for assistance.

With practical learning being integral to your degree, we provide practice simulation facilities including hospital wards and community home simulation suites,听to mirror both clinical and community workplace settings and provide a safe environment.

We鈥檙e continuing to enhance our state-of-the-art facilities听too 鈥� with the purpose-built听拢48听million Bournemouth Gateway building, that听houses our Health & Social Care courses.

Visit our facilities page to find out more 鈥� you can also take a to get a feel for where you鈥檒l be studying while you鈥檙e based on our Lansdowne Campus.

If you're going to be based at our Yeovil campus you can find out more about facilities there on the Yeovil campus page.听

When on placement you will be expected to work full time hours and follow the shift pattern of your allocated Practice Supervisor. It is a requirement that you experience the full 24 hour/7 day a week shift pattern during the course. This will include following the placement shift patterns听 (which may include 12-hour shift pattens (7am-7.30pm or later) used in some placement areas) and include weekend working and night duty.

Your learning will either predominantly be based at our Lansdowne Campus (though Talbot campus is also utilised) or our Yeovil Campus, while clinical placements will be organised by locality in a variety of places within Dorset, Somerset, Wiltshire and Hampshire in order to provide the necessary breadth of experience.

Please note - placement localities are allocated at the time of your offer for your course听on a first come, first served basis therefore we may need to amend your placement locality if we reach capacity.听You will not be able to change your main placement locality once you start. Once you have been allocated your locality this will remain for the remainder of your time on the course.

You will need to consider the realities of placements within the geographical area you have been given and be realistic as to whether this will be manageable and suitable for you 鈥� whilst being flexible may in some circumstances increase your chances of success, being unrealistic will lead to challenges. You should also consider where you choose accommodation during your studies.听

Although you will be allocated a placement locality, to ensure that you get to experience a range of placement experiences needed for successful course completion, you may be expected to change location for a portion of your placement time.

Below are some examples of the specialities of some of the hospitals we work with. Your placements will involve both clinical and community placements throughout your study.听

• A range of 30 nursing disciplines at all levels in the Community Health, Mental Health and Learning Disability Services
• Clinical skills teams who provide on-site clinical skills training and support and advice when it is needed.

Our geographical footprint for placement is vast 鈥� covering four counties in the South; Dorset, Somerset, Wiltshire and Hampshire. This ensures we are able to provide you with a wealth of clinical experience across a variety of areas of the healthcare service, including opportunities to experience placements in both urban and rural communities.

Although your term-time address and method of transport are taken into consideration when allocating your placements there is an expectation that all students will have to travel across large areas including some of a more rural nature to reach their placements, in some cases this can be more than 40miles away from Bournemouth, and some travel will be outside normal working hours due to the nature of shift work. You must ensure that you have means to travel to your placement location at unsociable hours and this may require you to use short-term accommodation options in order to participate in your placement. To help you with this, the can support you with placement travel expenses and dual accommodation costs if required.

Occupational Health (OH) Checks

Nursing is physically and mentally demanding and you will need to be mentally and physically able to undertake your chosen course. Places are offered subject to passing an OH check, and this will be carried out by the Dorset Healthcare University NHS Foundation Trust. Health conditions need to be dealt with on an individual basis e.g. deafness, blindness, eczema (or other dermatological allergic reactions) on exposed areas, epilepsy, back problems, or mental health conditions, eating disorders and other disabilities. These do not automatically exclude you but please ensure that you fully disclose your condition to OH. The University can then consider the recommendations made by OH and whether reasonable adjustments can be made to support you on your chosen course. If you require more guidance please contact us for more information.

You will be required to provide a record of your immunity status or be vaccinated or have the required blood tests. You may need to ask your GP or current Occupational Health (OH) department or find your childhood vaccination record for details of your past immunisation records. You should be aware that there may be charges made (for which you will be liable) relating to your gaining the appropriate immunity required prior to starting your training programme.

Refusing Immunisations

While covid vaccinations are still not mandatory, the latest policy advice is that without covid vaccinations it will be more difficult to arrange placements and it may therefore take more than three years to complete the programme successfully. The university has an expectation that all students will comply with the vaccination programme as it is Public Health England requirement for health care workers to have certain immunisations. This ensures that you will be able to undertake the wide range of training placements that your course will require and aims to keep you, as well as the people in your care as safe as possible. Please note that at this time Covid-19 vaccinations are not a mandatory requirement for healthcare workers and so are therefore not a mandatory requirement for healthcare students either. Occasionally some vaccinations are contraindicated in certain medical conditions. Occupational Health (OH) will advise the University in these cases. The University will consider students on an individual basis. Refusal to have immunisations may result in the student not being allowed to attend practice placement and being withdrawn from the course. There is no opportunity to appeal against the requirements of the immunisation policy

Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Check (previously known as CRB)

All successful applicants will be subject to an Enhanced Disclosure and Barred List check; this will be a condition of offer and will need to be completed prior to commencing the course. Please see the for the most up-to-date information.

Terms of Expectations
