Course summary
We support our students by developing the relevant skillset required for the role, with a focus on person-centred care, communication, and teamwork throughout the course – all crucial for becoming an effective Assistant Practitioner. Our Foundation Degree for the Assistant Practitioner is a full-time, two-year course developed to support students’ career development and promotion to an Assistant Practitioner. Students will be proficient to work in a variety of settings such as hospitals, clinics, care services and charitable organisations in the community. The University of Worcester has well-established links to a variety of organisations, the Integrated Care Board and NHS England, helping us identify successful opportunities which meet the students’ and community’s needs. This Foundation Degree supports our students’ exploration of this hybrid role, whilst supplying them with the experiences required to thrive in a healthcare career. The Foundation Degree Assistant Practitioner is ideal for those already working within a health and social care setting or those seeking to begin their career in Health and Social Care. For those working a minimum of 30 hours per week, the apprenticeship route may be an option and would enable you to continue working full time. Students can choose to study this course either at our Worcester or our Dudley campus.
