The MN/BSc Hons Nursing has evolved from a review of the existing BSc (Hons)Nursing programme that reflected the Division of Nursing’s focus on person-centredness set within the contemporary context of health and social care integration and the global health and wellbeing agenda with its emphasis on the creation of integrated health systems that meet the needs of the person, families and communities (Scottish Government (SG) 2017, World Health Organisation (WHO) 2015).
This is a full time 4-year programme. Each academic year will contain a blend of theoretical and practice learning that reflects our philosophy and meets the NMC Standards for Education (2018).
This integrated approach will ensure the delivery and achievement of the contemporary standards while responding to the ongoing impact and demands of professional nursing practice.
