A career in health care offers good future job prospects, income and rewarding work. So why not explore the range of courses for a variety of health and social care careers at the University of Plymouth?
As a current or previous member of the Armed Forces community, you’ll have a wealth of transferable skills that are both required and highly valued in health and social care.
With experience in supporting members of the community into exciting new roles through our highly rated teaching expertise and state-of-the-art training facilities, we understand that navigating your way into a new career is challenging and want to make it as straightforward as possible for you.
Join us at our bespoke Open Day for the Armed Forces community, where we’re offering an opportunity for those interested to find out more about careers and the training required for the 7 allied health professions we train. This includes dietitians, occupational therapists, optometrists, paramedics, physiotherapists, podiatrists and social workers.
Date: 17th April 2024 - 12:30 - 15:00
Location: InterCity Place, next to Plymouth railway station, PL4 6AB
Event: You’ll be able to enjoy a live-streamed virtual work experience session in collaboration with NHS England and Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital, including a ‘bird’s eye view’ of a live clinical intervention undertaken by occupational therapists.
This will be followed by a meet and greet with Service leavers who have already transitioned into health and social care careers, along with current students and academic staff. There will also be members of our admissions team on hand for you to begin discussions about your qualifications/life experience, and how these can support your entry into one of our courses.
