FACULTY OF HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE

Welcome from the Dean The Faculty of Health and Social Care offers a highly supportive learning environment which allows you to succeed with your personal and professional development. Our lecturers and tutors treat each student as an individual and are always on hand to offer their knowledge and expertise whenever they are needed.

All our programmes are designed to be responsive to the needs of those wanting to work in a health and social care setting. We also continually plan and introduce new programmes that respond to the Government agendas and initiatives.

The Faculty has excellent relationships with NHS Hospital and Community Trusts meaning we can offer work-based learning opportunities across a variety of care contexts, with placements at over 600 locations in Merseyside, Cheshire and Lancashire. The overall experience of the Edge Hill University NHS Dip HE Nursing Students was considered the best in the country in the 2010 National Student Survey (NSS).

Around 50% of our students are out in the workplace at any one time, typically spending more than 2,000 hours in real life healthcare settings during their degree.

There are a number of career paths open to our health and social care graduates including: • • • • • • • • • •

Nursing Operating Department Practitioner Social Worker Care Worker Midwife Health Trainer Paramedic Nutrition and Health Science Counselling Complementary Therapist

With the Faculty also experiencing a time of significant growth and development in the modern surroundings of our outstanding £14m facility, it is an exciting time for you to come on board.
