Overview

This Skills Bootcamp has been designed in collaboration with the Royal Devon University Hospital and Devon Partnership Trust to contribute to meet their skills needs.  An ageing population and skills shortage are an on-going concern and workforce development is critical.

On completion of the Bootcamp learners can apply to work as Healthcare Assistant in one of the hospitals or in smaller independent nursing homes.

The delivery of the course will be in-person 1 day a week for 12 weeks. This will enable the delivery of all theoretical and practical elements.

Each week will be a range of theory and practical skills lessons.
