What the college says

About 3 million people in the UK work in the Health and Social Care sector; that is equivalent to 1 in every 20 people. Demand for both Health and Social Care is liable to continue to rise due to the ageing population, as well as the impacts of the current pandemic, and it therefore is indisputable that it plays a key role in UK society. The demand for people to fill these vital careers will therefore continue to increase. Throughout the course, students will be supported in developing a sense of critical care, imbuing the higher order thinking necessary to achieve success in the course with the essential caring skills for the profession.
