Foundation Degree - Acute Care Pathway
This pathway aims to provide health care workers working within the acute Trust with appropriate knowledge and skills to underpin their care.
It has been developed collaboratively between University and practice staff in order to support practitioners from a range of practice areas and to facilitate development of professional knowledge, understanding and skills, in order to meet the requirements of the changing nature of work place needs. Therefore, the pathway provides shared modules across other pathways and a choice of pathway specific modules. This allows participants and, where appropriate, employers to plan a pathway that meets the needs of specific roles.
