The programme incorporates face to face learning and will comply with the NMC education standards and apprenticeship rules to ensure a high-quality education and learning experience.
The Student Nursing Associate apprentice will also participate in placement rotation to experience working in other healthcare services to gain a wide appreciation of health and care settings.
On successful completion of the programme the Student Nursing Associate apprentice will be able to apply for a Registered Nursing Associate position within Cirencester Hospital.
