As a mental health nurse, your primary focus is building therapeutic relationships with individuals experiencing mental health challenges and their families. You deliver comprehensive support and treatment addressing their physical, psychological, social, mental, and spiritual needs. Above all, this profession demands deep empathy and genuine care for those you serve.
Departing from conventional nursing education models, Essex offers a modern, cutting-edge nursing program. Through partnerships with local healthcare providers, you'll access exceptional clinical experiences, while interdisciplinary learning opportunities allow you to benefit from other healthcare specialists' expertise.

Graduating from our BSc Nursing (Mental Health) program qualifies you to apply for professional registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) as a Registered Mental Health Nurse, enabling UK nursing practice.
The School of Health and Social Care maintains a strong partnership with our Service User Reference Group (SURG), comprising individuals with lived experience, caregivers, and volunteers who openly share their healthcare journeys. SURG collaborates with us to shape curriculum development, ensuring patient-centered care remains central to our programs. Their involvement extends to admissions processes and interview panels, helping us identify ideal candidates for both the program and their future professions. SURG members also contribute to teaching and research initiatives, providing invaluable first-person perspectives on living with health conditions or diagnoses.
