This Course Meets The Needs Of The Region By
The 2024 Skills for Care workforce survey shows a significant shortage of healthcare staff in our district, with almost 1 in 10 positions unfilled. This puts additional burden on NHS frontline and multi-disciplinary teams, so for example nursing shortages directly impact the medical and social care work forces. People are also living longer, and of course existing staff will get older, so the health sector generally needs plenty of new people to train and join - meaning there are plenty of career opportunities for local people.
