The department of Health and Social Care works closely with partners in the NHS, local authorities and the independent sector. We aim to support students into further and higher education or employment.
Our staff comprises registered practitioners in the fields of nursing, social work and allied health professionals. There is also expertise in the fields of psychology, sociology, learning disability, reenablement, youth work and community nursing.
Learners can expect an experience that ensures they are supported to develop the professional standards required for this career path. A practice element in many of the courses enables students to maintain that professionalism in the workplace and beyond into a diverse selection of careers in the field of Health and Social Care.
I am so grateful to be able to graduate, especially as a mature student. Being able to complete this course has given me the confidence to go after my dream and become a registered nurse.
I'm really enjoying the nursing side of things because I want a career in nursing.

NC Health & Social Care
The HNC was challenging, and I even thought about dropping out at one point, but my lecturers were there to remind me why I was doing it. It has led me to where I am now and I will be forever grateful for the support I received.
