Introducing practical healthcare is an introductory course for healthcare support staff – for example healthcare assistants, porters, and the wider healthcare team – who might be looking to enhance their knowledge and skills in order to improve their career progression. This course will develop your knowledge and skills for a deeper understanding of healthcare practice. You will be introduced to some key ideas around quality care and you will have the opportunity to reflect on how these ideas might be applied in practice.
