The Seven Principles1. Develop competent graduates who are able to make clinical

judgements through a process of critical and analytical reflection and engender confidence that leads to collaborative working with others.

2. Engender transferable knowledge and leadership skills that will advance innovative nursing and inter-professional practice across health care settings by.

3. Foster an integrated biological, psychosocial and cultural approach to the development of knowledge, skills and attitudes to the care of service users as individuals, groups and communities across the lifespan.

4. Promote the adoption of therapeutic interventions that are concerned with improving quality of life through empowering people and enabling them to achieve, maintain or recover independence, to cope with disease or disability or health problems until the end of life.

5. Recognise that nursing is an intellectual, physical, emotional and moral process and provide opportunities to develop the students’ self-efficacy and reflexivity through a pedagogical approach that embraces student centeredness and empowerment and promotes life-long learning.

6. Emphasise personal and professional accountability in the quality of nursing care and as the guardians of the service user experience.

7. Ensure a dynamic programme of learning that is meaningfully organised and delivered to offer a coherent and inspirational student experience.
