Course Overview

 Assistant practitioners work at a level above that of healthcare support workers and have a more in-depth understanding of factors that influence health and ill-health (e.g. anatomy and physiology).

Our apprenticeship programme aims to prepare staff to undertake the role of Assistant Practitioner within the healthcare sector by giving you the opportunity to:

  • Develop practical ability in the skills laboratory and through work-based learning.
  • Assess, plan and implement care delivery and make sound judgements about the effectiveness of the delivery.
  • Evaluate and apply research findings.
  • Gain personal and transferable skills including assessing & planning, problem-solving & decision making, health promotion, interdisciplinary working, interpersonal skills and reflective practice.

Modules

All modules need to be taken in the order specified.

Whilst all modules are compulsory, they will be developed to include delivery for all staff in all health care settings, there will be elements that relate to specific service groups e.g. mental health, learning disability, and children and young people. To address these differing service needs client-specific groups will be used in sessions using a “flipped classroom” approach. Students will attend their place of work for the duration of the course.
