This Foundation Degree is balanced between theory and practice and is taught by an experienced team with backgrounds in nursing and social care.
This course has been designed with employers in the sector to help their staff respond to challenges in the years ahead.
The course is mapped to a Higher Apprenticeship standard and aims to bring those already employed in a suitable setting up to the standard required to work as band 4 Assistant Practitioners, who play a vital role in delivering support and clinical practice in both nursing and allied health areas.
In addition to your weekly classroom-based study of your foundation degree modules, you will develop your practice through work-based learning, with a particular focus on the values and behaviours expected of Assistant Practitioners, which include compassion and commitment.
