Course Overview

The 新加坡六合彩开奖直播's FdA in Health and Social Care (Assistant Practitioner (Health) Higher Apprenticeship Route) has been fully mapped to the Level 5 Assistant Practitioner (Health) Apprenticeship Standard (ST0215). This combined foundation degree and apprenticeship is suitable for new and existing health and social care support staff who have direct contact with patients, service users or clients, and demonstrate the potential to take on the greater responsibilities and challenges of the Assistant Practitioner role. Offering the best combination of theory and practice, study at the University complements learning in the workplace, supporting apprentices to develop the core skills, knowledge, values and behaviours required to fulfil the role of Assistant Practitioner.

Our flexible programme recognises the wide range of health and social care environments and their specific challenges. We'll work with you to devise individual learning agreements and job descriptions for each of your apprentices. This will ensure they fulfil the core and essential criteria of the higher apprenticeship and develop the additional skills and knowledge your organisation requires for the specific clinical or professional area.

This higher apprenticeship allows you to offer structured training and a nationally recognised qualification in health and social care, helping you attract the best new talent and retain valued support staff through career progression. Integrating study into the normal working week allows apprentices to put their new skills and understanding into practice without delay, benefitting patients and service users immediately. Our focus is on helping your apprentices become knowledgeable, compassionate, and person-centred care professionals.

If you're looking for undergraduate-level training in this subject area but don't work for an employer that offers apprenticeships, please see our related courses section for details of study opportunities that don't require current employment.

Career Opportunities

The 新加坡六合彩开奖直播's FdA Health and Social Care (Assistant Practitioner (Health) Higher Apprenticeship Route) is designed to meet the Level 5 Assistant Practitioner (Health) Apprenticeship Standard (ST0215). The standard underpins a highly relevant qualification and professional development pathway that educates apprentices ready for the role of Assistant Practitioner.

Assistant Practitioners have direct contact with patients, service users or clients and work as part of the wider health and social care team to provide high-quality and person-centred compassionate care. Occupying the crucial gap in care delivery between a care support worker and a registered practitioner, the job title of Assistant Practitioner is applied to a wide variety of roles developed locally by employers to meet individual service needs.

Assistant Practitioners can be found working in a range of areas across health and social care, such as acute, social care services, community, physiotherapy, mental health, general practice, hospice care, genito-urinary medicine, orthopaedics, occupational therapy, cancer services, and learning disabilities, as well as in hybrid roles that cross traditional occupational areas.

What can I do with this qualification?

To become an Assistant Practitioner, apprentices will need to demonstrate their mastery of the core knowledge and skills defined by the higher apprenticeship standard along with the additional skills and knowledge based on your requirements as their employer. These will depend on the clinical or professional area in which they are working to allow for an integrated approach and skills escalation.

Some of the key transferable skills successful apprentices will possess include communication skills, teamwork, and negotiation, as well as the ability to present ideas and arguments, work independently, and reflect on and review progress.

After successfully completing the higher apprenticeship and achieving the Foundation Degree (FdA) in Health and Social Care (Assistant Practitioner (Health) Higher Apprenticeship), your employees may be able to progress to one of the BSc (Hons) Nursing degrees or degree apprenticeships offered by the 新加坡六合彩开奖直播. Alternatively, they may benefit from stand-alone professional development modules in additional areas of professional practice or interest.
Fees & Funding

Apprentices will not be expected to pay tuition fees towards this programme. If your organisation has a wage bill of more than 拢3 million per annum, then it may be able to fund this apprenticeship through its Apprenticeship Levy contributions.

This support, called co-investment, covers 95% of the apprenticeship's tuition fees, with your organisation funding the remaining 5% of the fees.

Home/EU Fees

Apprentices will need to be employed by your organisation for a minimum of 30 hours per week. Your organisation will also need to commit to sponsoring apprentices to complete this qualification.

Teaching & Assessment

To make this course as beneficial as possible for you and your apprentices, we apply a range of learning, teaching and assessment methods. These are designed to fully engage apprentices, helping them develop the skills, knowledge, competencies, values and attitudes essential to service excellence as a health and social care Assistant Practitioner, with particular reference to their specific clinical or professional area in your organisation. Learning focuses on your workplace environment and builds the transferable body of knowledge and skills demanded by the Assistant Practitioner role both generally and within your organisation or service area. Your apprentices will spend the majority of their time gaining on-the-job knowledge and experience. They will also complete at least six hours per week in off-the-job learning, including studying at the university.

To complement lectures that introduce the course content, seminars and group-based activities allow apprentices to explore subjects, policies and practices in greater detail. Tutorials help them to clarify their understanding of the topics we cover in lectures and seminars. At the same time, we use case studies, practical scenarios and role-playing to help apprentices apply their newly acquired knowledge and theory to real-life problems and gain valuable insights into health and social care practice. Apprentices also have the chance to develop their practical skills in our clinical skills laboratory, and we'll encourage them to use our extensive online learning resources to support their self-directed learning.

In addition, we offer masterclasses with practitioners from the health and social care sector, plus insightful sessions with guest speakers who either provide or use health and social care services to widen their views.

Our assessment methods are designed to reflect what will be required of Assistant Practitioners in your health and social care setting. For example, the course requires apprentices to submit written reports, give presentations, develop their practice portfolio, analyse care plans, review relevant literature, analyse complex cases and discuss how to manage change. We also expect them to write essays and reflective accounts, take practical and written tests, and play an active part in group discussions. Some assessments contribute to their final module marks, while others help them identify their strengths and weaknesses and where they need to seek extra support from course tutors.
