Supporting the Health and Social Care Sector through Access to HE

A new report has found that around 8% of job roles in care are vacant, which equates to more than 220,000 vacancies in the health and social care sector. Together we have a responsibility to encourage people to take the first step into a career in health and social care and to build their skill base to fill these important roles.

Being an Access Validating Agency (AVA) for 45 years, we’ve used our expertise to create a robust portfolio of Health and Social Care Diplomas including the following titles:

• Allied Health Professions
• Counselling & Psychology
• Health & Social Care
• Health Sciences & Well-being
• Medicine
• Nursing & Midwifery
• Paramedic Science
• Physio & Sports Therapy
• Radiography
