Leeds

Leeds is a popular city with students and a great place to study. We can help you reach your potential, during and after your studies. At University Centre Leeds we offer a range of Higher Education qualifications which include: Foundation, top-up and bachelor's degrees PGCEs and Masters HNC/Ds Higher Technical qualifications Nationally recognised higher and degree apprenticeships Foundation Degrees are well respected qualifications in their own right and develop specific expertise relevant to a particular sector of industry. This includes key transferable skills such as learning skills, management of self, communication skills, ICT and numeracy skills, academic writing skills etc. Foundation Degrees are flexible qualifications and are designed to meet the need of employers for highly skilled, work-ready personnel. The qualifications are similar to Higher National Diplomas, but with added emphasis on work-based learning. Unless a course states otherwise, Foundation Degrees generally last two years (full time) though some courses offer a part time study option – please see individual course entries for further details. You can be confident that our courses are industry relevant and current, written in consultation with employers and key industry partners. Students spend the first two years to attain a Foundation Degree, and then have the option to top up their qualification to gain a full honours degree, either with us at University Centre Leeds or at an alternative institution.

North Yorkshire,

The Association for Perioperative Practice (AfPP) was established as the National Association of Theatre Nurses, NATN, in 1964. As a membership organisation and registered charity AfPP works to enhance skills and knowledge within operating departments, associated areas and sterile services departments. AfPP aims to enhance the quality of care and patient safety in the NHS and the independent sector throughout the UK. In April 2005 NATN changed its name, structures and systems in recognition of the significant changes that were happening in the healthcare sector and the wider perioperative environment and to accommodate the growing numbers of Operating Department Practitioners and Healthcare Support Workers who were previously not eligible for full membership. AfPP also works to encourage the exchange of professional information between members and co-operation with other professional bodies. These include the Departments of Health in the UK, the Perioperative Care Collaborative, the Medical Royal Colleges, Chief Nursing Officers (CNOs) of all four member countries, Skills for Health and many of the British Safety Institution Committees and other groups set up to discuss specific issues related to perioperative care.
