FUNDING SEES SHIPLEY COLLEGE BECOME HEALTH SECTOR LEADERS

We're celebrating after a successful funding bid will allow our Health students to be trained in AI and robotics in healthcare! 

The Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) for West and North Yorkshire sets out the skills priorities for our region, connecting businesses and education more closely, and funding (LSIF) was available to bid for to enable cutting-edge digitalisation in the priority sectors.

Thanks to this funding we will be the lead in developing curriculum to meet digitalisation in the Health sector - meaning we will soon be able to offer access to such ground breaking resources as mixed reality (MR) robotic simulators, anatomage tables and an immersive environment!

This fantastic opportunity for our students could in turn reduce pressure on frontline NHS services, as healthcare trainees will be trained on programmable and augmented reality robotics that simulate clinical diagnostics, childbirth, emergency medicine, minor surgeries and personal and geriatric care conditions.

The joint funding bid was in partnership with West Yorkshire Consortium of Colleges and the West & North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce. We can't wait to see our students using this new technology!
