Supporting Health Care in Adult Nursing T Level

Year 1:

Two Written Examinations (CORE)
The core component includes two written exams to test students’ understanding of the fundamental concepts of healthcare, such as anatomy and physiology, infection control, and patient care.

Employer Set Project (ESP)
This component provides students with the opportunity to work on a real-world health-related project set by an employer. It helps bridge the gap between academic learning and practical application, allowing students to solve problems and demonstrate their technical capabilities in a work-based context.
