This advanced course, supported by NHS Trusts, Whiston Hospital and the Northwest Ambulance Service, combines work placements in settings such as specialist units, outpatient wards and care homes, with the theory in the classroom.

If you are interested in a career within an allied health profession, this course could form part of a Cadetship.

Our Health and Social Care alumna, Shannon, completed this course as part of a Cadetship and has since progressed to Edge Hill University to study Adult Nursing.
