The course was revalidated with a view to attract students who would like to go into a health-related degree such as physiotherapy, speech and language therapy, occupational health, and nursing to name a few. They can also progress onto any of our health and social care degrees.

CertHE Healthcare Practice have been designed to enable individuals who aspire to work in a healthcare-related profession, to complete a recognised formal qualification at level four (CertHE).

The programme has a strong focus on person-centred, compassionate care and the development of knowledge, skills and competencies needed to underpin effective practice in a variety of healthcare settings. You will gain an insight into key aspects of healthcare practice including integrated working, evidence-based practice and professional development, while also exploring fundamental biological, social and psychological concepts and theories.

The programmes provide the knowledge, skills and qualification that increase degree applicants’ likelihood of gaining entry to their first-choice degree. While studying students continue to apply to their chosen degree programme and leave UWTSD’s course at the end of year one or two depending on when they gain their place
