The aim of the Foundation Year is to provide you with an introduction to issues and questions that are key to understanding health and care. You will be encouraged to explore issues such as life quality, effective caring and communication. You will also gain an understanding of the basic factors that influence health and caring. You will therefore be provided with an opportunity to actively develop your knowledge of health and caring whilst gaining specialised tuition in core academic skills. Through this process it is anticipated that your confidence and readiness for Level 4 study will be enhanced.
