What is an RNDA?

The Registered Nurse Degree Apprenticeship programme combines academic and work-based learning through collaboration between employers and education providers.  Nurse apprentices will be employed by Primary Care but will work in a range of settings in order to gain wider experience across a range of health care settings.

The apprenticeship programme provides the opportunity to study for a nursing degree with no tuition fees to pay for the apprentice.
