Fdsc Assistant Practitioner in Health

University of Cumbria

As well as studying a set of generic modules alongside students from all pathways, you will study three distinct modules (two in year one and one in year two) which are specific to your field of practice. There will be opportunities to learn in your field-specific groups, and progression routes are available for each pathway. On your study days, your skills and knowledge will be nurtured through a blend of lectures, seminars, group work, tutorials, experiential learning, and reading. Sessions are designed to improve your understanding of clinical practice, policy, procedures and professional accountability. At your workplace, you will apply this learning to the real world, working alongside registered healthcare professionals. A personal tutor from your specific field of practice will also be assigned to you for the duration of your studies. Upon completion of the course, you will be a level in between support worker and registered healthcare practitioner. The programme will ground you in your clinical field and facilitate your onward journey to registered practitioner if you are clinically and academically able to do so.
