Like the rest of the UK, Lancashire has an ageing population (with the number of people over 65 set to rise by 23% in a decade) and more people with complex care needs living longer. This means that demand for health and care services is set to continue rising – creating a range of employment opportunities. Most popular career routes: Nurse | Midwife | Social Worker | Ambulance Paramedic | Radiographer | Occupational Therapist | Physiotherapist | Health Services or Public Health Manager | Community Matron | Healthcare Assistant | Health Visitor | Operation Department Practitioner Facilities Whilst theorectical subjects are taught in our well-equipped classrooms, most practical based learning takes place on placement where 'real-life' situations allow students to put their knowledge to the test. Students will also be able to use our Learning Resource Centres which provide a wealth of material to further facilitate their studies. What our students and tutors say: I chose this course as I wanted to help people with mental health issues. It’s great – we all work together helping each other out – we’re like a family! If this is what you want to do, just go for it! - Lewis Killingbeck, Certificate in Health and Social Care I’m in my second year doing midwifery and I’ve already delivered 16 babies! I wouldn’t be where I am today without B&FC. The course was excellent - I got so much support and I could re-sit my maths too. The staff helped me prepare my personal statement for uni and even conducted a mock interview with me. - Jenny Brand studied Health and Social Care at B&FC and is now studying midwifery at Edge Hill University At B&FC, a range of dedicated and professional members of staff put students first.
