This degree has been developed in consultation with three NHS trusts to meet the increasing demand for NHS services. You’ll learn to deliver a variety of health intervention programmes using physical activity, social engagement and behaviour change models. Patients could include those undergoing serious treatment such as cancer treatment, those with longer-term illnesses or those with complex needs. This role would lead to jobs supporting patients both individually and in groups, with the aim of improving patient support and reducing the burden on GP and Emergency services. **Why this course at Marjon?** • Work with patients in our on-campus clinics such as clinics for back pain, cancer, diabetes or fibromyalgia. • We work closely with NHS teams and local health employers to ensure students develop the skills and knowledge that are most desired by graduate employers. • Marjon is a pioneer of health and wellbeing provision and is increasingly recognised as a centre of excellence for innovative patient support. **What might I become?** This is a new course designed to develop front-line clinical staff for the NHS to support the healthcare crisis and to reduce the burden of ill health. This is an area of high demand as the NHS works to change its approach and provide more tailored support, particularly in groups and in different types of settings. **Find out more at Open Day** Open Day is your opportunity to find out more about studying Health & Wellbeing Practitioner at Marjon.
