Health & Science Courses in Lancashire & Cumbria

The Health and Social Care sector is Lancashire’s largest employment sector, employing 16% of Lancashire’s workforce. Like the rest of the UK, Lancashire has an ageing population (with the number of people over 65 set to rise by 23% in a decade) and more people with complex care needs living longer. This means that demand for health and care services is set to continue rising – creating a range of employment opportunities.

Technology is becoming embedded into both areas like never before. In healthcare, patient care improvements are being driven by data and remote methods giving greater access to professionals. Science is evolving rapidly, with developments such as AI-enhanced gene editing reshaping what it means to be a professional.

The IoT is leading from the front, with industry-standard facilities training the health and science professionals the region needs.
