Mental health and emotional wellbeing are increasingly recognised as being of vital importance to overall patient health, so this degree apprenticeship has been designed in partnership with key organisations, including the NHS, to provide those who aspire to be Assistant Practitioners with the skills and knowledge required to help those in need of specialist support.
This course is mapped to a Higher Apprenticeship standard and is one of the first in the region to address the shortage of mental health skills in health and social care.
The classroom elements of the course include studies in anatomy and physiology, risk management and studies in transferable academic areas such as sociology and psychology as well as the importance of communication. Teaching on this programme is designed to be diverse to meet the range of differing working environments and taught by a professional experienced team.
On successful completion of this apprenticeship, you will receive a UWE Bristol FdSc Assistant Practitioner qualification that carries an HTQ quality mark.
