The Senior Academy is an opportunity to learn about the NHS and social care and the roles it has to offer. We offer the chance to not only meet a range of healthcare professionals, to gain a better understanding of what their role entails and possible routes into the varying careers. This programme will run as a three month online learning programme with one session per week meaning you will continue your college studies.

During the interactive and engaging sessions you will cover areas such as;

  • Communication skills
  • Infection control
  • First aid
  • Patient care i.e. Observations
  • Interview skills
  • Routes into Health and Social Care i.e. University, Apprenticeships etc

The academy experience also aims to provide individuals with life skills such as;

  • Confidence
  • Time management
  • Resilience
  • Enhanced self-awareness

At the end of the three month programme you will be asked to come to a virtual live session to present what you have learnt, your highlights and experiences in a fun and creative way (please note that only virtual opportunities are currently available due to Covid-19.).

To attend the Senior Academy you should be aged between 16-18 years.

If you are not 16 years of age you may want to consider the Junior Academy.
