(B.S.c) Bachelor’s Degree

Faye is a highly skilled Registered Nurse who Specialises in Learning Disability and Mental Health.

Faye acquired further skills in her post for the Department of Work and Pensions. She was required to assess and produce reports for a wide range of medical conditions which affect both physical and mental health. She was trained in the holistic assessment of health which focussed on the biopsychosocial factors of health.

Faye had additional training in Mental health which enhanced her skills. She also trained in musculoskeletal conditions which expanded her knowledge. She can confidently complete musculoskeletal observations (MSO) and mental state examinations (MSE) and this allows her to produce in depth, robust and evidence based medical reports.
