PROJECT SUMMARY
In 2011 Progress South Central funded a longitudinal study to review the effectiveness of the Health and Social Care Foundation Degree in developing the Assistant Practitioner role. An evaluation report was written, based on a longitudinal research study through data gathered from students, supervisors and managers to show perceptions of progress of trainee Assistant Practitioners. The study asked respondents about the future employment status on completion of the 2 year course, the perceived changes in practice, the benefits seen for service delivery and the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) seen as a future requirement for their employees.
