About Healthcare for Assistant Practitioners, Foundation Degree - at University of Leeds

This course is delivered under the apprenticeship model. The Foundation Degree is designed for adult learners already working within the NHS in a clinical support worker role, with at least one year clinical experience in acute, mental health or other clinical support worker roles. It offers the opportunity to develop your clinical and professional skills and to understand the theory underpinning your practice.

Throughout the course both clinical and academic teaching across modules have equal weighting. The course is designed to support you in your learning as a reflective practitioner and enable you to apply your learning directly to your work.

You'll be required to attend University one day a week during term time and will be taught by friendly and supportive staff with experience in working with adult learners who also have substantial professional experience within the sector. From your initial enquiry and throughout your studies with us you'll benefit from our student support service, which provides advice and guidance, academic skills support, welcome events and social events.

  • Course content

    Three core strands run throughout the Foundation Degree:

    There is a strong emphasis on your development of clinical practice coupled with acquiring skills for successful study at university. Half of each year of the course is clinically based, and teaching across modules is designed to help and support you in your learning as reflective practitioners. This course is delivered under the apprenticeship model. The Foundation Degree is awarded by the University of Leeds, after which an end point assessment will be required by your employer to achieve the apprenticeship.
