It will allow you to explore the health and social care sector in response to changing demographics and the integration of services.

Central to the program is valuing the role that all staff play in the implementation and delivery of integrated services. This program is the first of its kind in Scotland and is specifically designed as a progression or articulation route for those candidates, who have a relevant Further Education college qualification, looking to strengthen their knowledge, skills, and career in the rapidly changing environment of integrated health and social care provision.
