This course will prepare you for an undergraduate degree in Nursing and other health-related fields. This course will improve both your academic, professional and employability skills and is a step towards a rewarding career in the health sector.
It combines the required academic knowledge with the skills and competencies gained from a clinical placement within the care sector.
We have a partnership with NHS Lothian where all HNC Healthcare Practice students are given the opportunity to apply for a position as a Healthcare Support Worker which is a paid position. If you are successful having gone through the NHS recruitment procedures you will be offered a contract for a minimum of 12 hours a week, which will enable you to complete your practice hours for your HNC. If you are not successful at your NHS interview then you will be placed in a care home where your hours are not paid at present.
This qualification is also suitable if you want to work as a Health Care Support Worker.
Our friendly lecturing team are highly qualified and have diverse experience across health and social care including medicine, nursing, psychology, social work, and education.
