Assistant Practitioner (health)
About the course
Available from September 2024, our Level 5 Assistant Practitioner (health) apprenticeship addresses the knowledge, skills and professional behaviours needed for a range of healthcare roles.
Assistant Practitioners work as part of the wider health and social care team and have direct contact with patients, service users or clients providing high quality and compassionate care. Assistant Practitioners work at a level above that of Healthcare Support Workers and have a more in-depth understanding about factors that influence health and ill-health (e.g. anatomy and physiology). Assistant Practitioner is a job title applied to a very wide variety of roles that have been developed locally by employers to meet individual service need. Upon successful completion of this standard, individuals will have obtained the core skills, knowledge and values/behaviours to become an Assistant Practitioner.
The programme includes the Foundation Degree in Healthcare Practice.
