Our healthcare courses are developed in collaboration with local healthcare providers and health authorities, to ensure the learning you receive meets the benchmark set for care providers. You’ll spend 50% of your time in industry, and we have an on-campus simulation centre to further enhance you clinical skills. Our Nursing and Midwifery courses lead to professional registration and are approved in partnership with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). Our Operating Department Practice and Paramedic Science courses are approved in collaboration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). Aswell as running our nursing courses in Luton, we run Child Nursing at our Bedford campus and Adult and Mental Health at our Aylesbury campus.
