Healthcare Education Aberystwyth University

Overview

Healthcare Education at Aberystwyth University will be delivered and assessed in partnership with local Practice Learning Partners, and will enable students to deliver person-centred, holistic care to the people they encounter in clinical practice.

Due to funding arrangements, students must be employed in a healthcare role within a health or social care setting within the Mid Wales region to be eligible for the programme.

Students’ clinical and academic skills are developed within a strong and established system of support through personal tutors within the Healthcare Education Centre, enabling students to develop skills such as academic writing, reflection, critical thinking and decision-making. This is complemented by other learning activities within the programme, including sessions in our Clinical Skills Unit, a simulation unit where students can learn and practise clinical skills in a safe and supportive environment.

Careers

This programme will give students the experience, skills and qualification to either progress into our part-time pre-registration BSc Nursing programme, commencing in Part 2 (year 2) or progress their clinical roles within the healthcare sector, such as becoming a Band 4 Assistant Practitioner.
