Upskilling the health workforce

From the highly skilled clinicians who treat our ageing population, to the country’s brightest sporting stars, we’re making a significant impact upskilling the health and social care workforce across Greater Manchester and beyond.

We are committed to making a positive contribution to communities, individuals and organisations with a focus on sustainable models of care, improved patient outcomes, personalised interventions and working collaboratively with our partners to futureproof health and social care services.

Taught by experts in their fields

When you study CPD at Manchester Metropolitan University, you will be taught by a team of award-winning academics with vast amounts of experience in practice.

Our researchers are part of the Health, Psychology and Communities (HPaC) research centre, which is home to internationally excellent and multidisciplinary specialists who are making a significant difference to the everyday lives of many.

Our researchers are working with the British Para-Swimming squad to develop food safety skills and supporting children who have communication disabilities to have improved access to education, employment and a better quality of life.

We’re also using facial morphing techniques to help young people quit smoking for good and developing targeted physiotherapy treatments for common debilitating ailments like Osteoarthritis, that have been implemented across several NHS services.

Our research is helping to save lives and improve services for patients across Greater Manchester. As a student at Manchester Met, you could be part of that story.
