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.

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. We are a team of professionals, equipped with a plethora of skills and knowledge to support the next generation of qualified practitioners - Lisa Gayton, Lecturer and Progress Tutor, Health and Social Care Prev Next
