Free Level 3 Diploma in Healthcare Support

The person a patient talks to most is rarely the one with the stethoscope!

Who actually spends the day with a patient? Not the consultant on a ten minute round. NHS workforce figures put clinical support staff at over 400,000 across England. Almost none of them are registered professionals. Most of the hands-on care a patient receives comes from that group. Ask a worried relative who they actually spoke to and you will hear the same answer. So our free diploma in healthcare support covers that work properly. Infection control and safeguarding sit alongside mental health, elderly care and the paperwork nobody warns you about.

Twenty one areas in all. And none of them assume you have worked in a care setting before.

Why Choose Our Free Healthcare Support Course?

Our free training is great because you can study in a way that suits you. For example:

1. Learn at your own speed
2. Written by care professionals
3. Mental health covered properly
4. Short quiz after each lesson
5. Support by chat, phone or email
6. Free from beginning to end

What You Will Learn from Our Programme

Our free support worker training follows a shift from handover to handover:

1. Learn the responsibility of a support worker and where it ends.
2. Follow your safeguarding duties and duty of care.
3. Keep yourself and others safe at work.
4. Learn how infection spreads and how to stop it.
5. Handle cleaning and waste the right way.
6. Speak with patients, families and colleagues clearly.
7. Keep personal information safe, as the law requires.
8. Support people with mental health problems day to day.
9. Notice when somebody is at risk and get the right help.
10. Care for elderly patients and run group activities well.

What Makes Our Programme Different

Four of these lessons are about mental health. Wellbeing, mental health problems, treatment and spotting when somebody is at risk. Most healthcare support training gives that a paragraph. But a support worker sits with patients for hours while clinical staff come and go. So they are usually the first to notice something changing.

Entry Requirements

No care experience required. No qualifications either. Just bring:

1. Everyday English reading
2. A computer, tablet or phone
3. Age 16 or above
4. Patience with people having a bad day

Lifetime Certificate Validity

Yes, you read that right! Our course certificates never expire. You can get your high-quality certificate now for just £5. A hardcopy costs a little more.

Who Is Our Free Support Worker Training Online For?

Care assistants moving towards senior roles get straight value here. And new starters use it before their first shift. Some learners are comparing support worker courses online and want to know what the job actually asks of them. And anyone applying for health care support worker jobs walks into the interview knowing the vocabulary.

Career Paths

Clinical tasks like taking a patient's temperature are taught and signed off at work. So take our free diploma healthcare material as the knowledge behind:

1. Healthcare Support Worker
2. Care Assistant
3. Mental Health Support Worker
4. Rehabilitation or Therapy Assistant
5. Community Support Worker

Formal support worker qualifications UK employers ask for are separate regulated awards.

What Is the Free Diploma in Healthcare Support Overview
