Overview

This innovative programme combines a Foundation Degree (FdSc) with the Assistant Practitioner Apprenticeship Standard, creating a fully integrated learning experience. Teaching, learning and assessment are designed to meet both the academic and apprenticeship requirements simultaneously, ensuring there is no duplication of learning while preparing apprentices for successful completion of their End Point Assessment (EPA). Learning is centred around the workplace, enabling apprentices to apply new knowledge and skills directly to practice while continuing to earn a salary. The programme provides a flexible route into higher education, allowing apprentices to achieve an industry-recognised qualification without paying tuition fees. Developed in partnership with local healthcare providers, the programme has been designed to meet workforce needs across the allied health professions. It supports Assistant Practitioners working in Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Dietetics, and Speech and Language Therapy, while also being suitable for those in wider health and social care roles such as discharge planning, care coordination, emergency care and social care services. A key strength of the programme is its multidisciplinary approach. Apprentices from a variety of professional backgrounds learn together, sharing experiences and developing a broader understanding of different roles and services. This collaborative model helps build a strong community of practice, preparing graduates to work effectively across professional boundaries and contribute to integrated, person-centred care. Whether you are looking to enhance your current role, develop specialist expertise, or progress your career within health and social care, this programme provides the knowledge, skills and confidence to achieve your goals. You will study a variety of modules across your programme of study. The module details given below are subject to change and are the latest example of the curriculum available
