D&A College Prospectus 2023-24

If you’repursuingacareer inhealthandsocial care, there’snothing likeseeing care inaction. Bringing the theory-based, classroom teaching to life, we pride ourselves on showing it like it is, and work hard to emulate the settings and environments in our communities. Our clinical skills room at Gardyne is a realistic ‘hospital’ space housing everything from an adjustable profile bed, hoists and bath, to wound dressing trolleys, blood pressure machines andmock drug cabinet. Complementing that clinical environment, we’re also introducing VR simulation to give students an authentic sense of caring for someone with dementia, frompreparing their meals and communicating with them to managing their allergies or diabetes. As part of our role to engrain the ethics of care in our students, we’ve got the uniforms and kit to reinforce that sense of reality so you’re one step ahead when you’re ready to go out on placement, whether it’s a care home, children’s ward or A&E. caring
