We are driving an exciting initiative that will help to shape the future of Health and Care services in East Kent, embracing assistive and digital technologies with a focus on enhancing the care experience for those with dementia.
The Local Skills Improvement Fund paves the way for positive transformations in the Health and Care sector, elevating recruitment and retention strategies for employees. Our focus is on fostering a supportive environment for employees in the sector, guiding them toward fulfilling careers that are strongly supported by the latest technology.
Our professional demonstration rooms are strategically located across our Colleges in Broadstairs, Canterbury, and Folkestone. These fully equipped demo rooms proudly showcase cutting-edge technology, empowering care professionals to engage in real-life scenarios, ensuring they are always prepared for a range of care situations.
Using digital care planning systems, you will develop and manage personalised care plans and invest in a more efficient process for enhancing and tracking a patient’s care. We have committed to developing Telecare Platform facilities, providing employers with the opportunity to explore devices that monitor a patient’s vitals, providing real-time and urgent care, and equipping your business with modern and quick solutions.
By introducing more organisations to digital technologies, we will ensure that the communities we serve are thoroughly equipped to deal with patient care in an efficient and modern way.
Our facilities are equipped with revolutionary VR facilities, immersive classrooms, and digital twins, taking a step towards higher-level training methods, and promoting a highly skilled talent pool that aligns with the evolving needs of the Health and Care sector.
We extend our commitment to educators through CPD programmes, as our Health and Care lecturers prepare to deliver an advanced education, ensuring learners receive leading guidance.
Our blended learning courses combine online study with sessions in our on-site facilities. Develop your knowledge with guided classes and immerse yourself in assisted technology in our dedicated Assistive Technology Suites.
