Exceptional nurse training

We give nursing students the best learning opportunity throughout their professional training, up to and including final registration.

We offer high quality mentoring, practice education and support that's aligned to students' learning requirements and objectives.

Placements are usually arranged through universities and are aligned to specific learning objectives. We offer a wide range of clinical placements, including medium secure care, low secure care, forensic care, neuropsychiatry, adolescents and women’s specific services.

We can provide placement opportunities for students from any UK based universities, including elective placements such as those in the third year of a degree. Our dedicated team will try and find the best learning environment for your professional training.
