Empowering healthcare professionals – new skills bootcamps launched in Leicestershire
Healthcare professionals across Leicestershire are being offered a unique opportunity to enhance their careers and drive sustainability through North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College’s (NWSLC) new Skills Bootcamp.
Launching this January, the Greener Healthcare for All programme is part of the Government’s Lifetime Skills Guarantee, providing flexible, fully funded training designed to meet the evolving demands of the healthcare sector.
The 12-week blended learning course focuses on equipping healthcare workers with the skills and knowledge to integrate sustainable practices into their daily roles. As the healthcare industry plays a pivotal role in achieving net-zero targets, participants will learn practical strategies to improve environmental impact while maintaining high standards of patient care.
Marion Plant, OBE FCGI, Principal and Chief Executive of NWSLC, said: “Our Greener Healthcare for All Skills Bootcamp is a powerful way for healthcare professionals to lead the way in creating a sustainable future for the sector.
“By combining practical training with a forward-thinking approach, we’re empowering individuals to make a real difference in their workplaces and communities. This is more than a career development opportunity, it’s a chance to be part of the global movement toward sustainability in healthcare.”
Designed for adults aged 19 and over, the course is open to healthcare professionals at all levels who are looking to expand their expertise. It is particularly beneficial for those eager to adopt greener practices and contribute to organisational sustainability goals. Unemployed participants also benefit from a guaranteed interview, opening new career pathways.
Enrolment is open now, and interested participants must sign up in January to secure their spot.
