Course Description

Students are finding it increasingly difficult to work in healthcare settings due to the constant evolution and change of the National Health Service (NHS).

This online course was created by Medicine Calling and the University of Leicester to help you learn more about healthcare careers.

This course is designed to teach you the skills required to work in healthcare. This course will allow you to learn more about the industry, and make an informed decision on whether this career path is right.

The course will introduce you to the roles and responsibilities that healthcare professionals play. You can choose to become a nurse, doctor, midwife or physiotherapist. We'll show you the different routes that you have available to get started in your healthcare career.

A variety of professionals will also be available to discuss your needs and help you succeed in a healthcare environment.

Some healthcare courses and healthcare-related jobs require that students have some work experience. This online course will give you valuable insight into the NHS and is unlike any face-to-face experience.

To help you become a competent healthcare professional, you will learn from experts at the University of Leicester Medical School.
