Through theoretical study and placement, the skills required to work in health and social care settings will be enhanced. This course builds the foundations to a career in either nursing, health or social care.

This course is part of the Scottish Wider Access Programme (SWAP) and provides the skills and entry requirements you need to progress to Higher Education.
