**This course is primarily designed for face to face learning with you attending your lessons for the specified hours within the validation document. However, there may be periods of study where the government advises TEC Partnership that it is not safe to open campuses or there is limited access due to social distancing measures. If the campus is closed TEC Partnership will deliver your sessions online and offer you the necessary support and resources remotely. If there is limited access due to social distancing measures a blended model will be adopted with some lessons happening in small groups and others happening using online sessions and support. We will make decisions on the delivery hours for each programme as government advice becomes clearer. For the placements in your programme, TEC Partnership will do everything it can to ensure you have the opportunity to complete the placement element of your programme and/or potentially, where possible, amend the programme removing the requirement for placement (or part of it) if there is likely to be difficulty.** The general aims of the programme are to:   - Provide a programme of study for those who wish to work in the healthcare sector or for those who already have experience and wish to widen their knowledge base.  - Equip students with the theoretical knowledge, professional conduct competencies and practice skills necessary to work with service users in a healthcare setting.  - Develop reflective practitioners who are ‘fit for practice’ to safeguard the health and well-being of the public.  Students on the Healthcare Studies Foundation Degree are taught by industry specialists who are working in the healthcare industry and are up-to-date with current practice.  Based at the University Centre Grimsby this programme encourages students to explore their individual area of interest and allows them to choose a specialism from mental health, adult healthcare and children's health. The programme provides an enriching experience where tutors are committed to encouraging students to become independent and autonomous learners whilst developing their own sense of professional identity and integrity within an occupational discipline.
