Allied Health

A career in allied health is demanding but also deeply rewarding. We’re here to support you in developing the knowledge, practical skills, and confidence to provide safe, effective care to those who need it most.

Our expert lecturers and technicians bring extensive clinical experience into the classroom, ensuring your learning is rooted in real-world practice. You’ll also train in our purpose-built facilities, designed to closely mirror the environments you’ll be going into – whether this is an operating theatre, an ambulance or hospital.

Our courses are aligned with the relevant professional bodies, including Health and Care Professions Council, Chartered Society of Physiotherapy and Royal College of Occupational Therapists.
