I would love to recommend this programme. But you need to update your online library though.
LSBR Coordinator
We are sorry to know that you could not find the resource that you were looking for in the library. We have always strived to provide the very best of education and resources to all our learners. However the title that you were looking for was withdrawn from the Online Library resource way back in 2012 and a new edition was available which your advisor Ms. Phi Phi did share with you. I apologise once again for the mis-communication. We certainly look forward to continue to be your preferred choice for your online education needs.
Erin
Very good programme. They shared a long list of leading books on healthcare and social care industry which I got hold off using LSBR’s online library resource. It really helped me in advancing my studies. I am now studying Level 6 Health & Social Care programme in LSBR and plan to go for Masters studies online with Lsbr.
Phoebe
I really liked the structuring of this program. I was able to follow through the entire syllabus easily. I took up training with a community clinic at Michigan and that helped me in completing the project easily. I take this opportunity to thank LSBR professors especially Ms. Linda and my coordinator Ms. Poonam who helped me in every possible way. Thank you LSBR 🙂
Eliza
I come from a Sales background, but I had always been passionate about social care. My most memorable aspect of this online healthcare programme is working on live project. It helped me in understanding the nuances of Social Care. I am now proud to contribute to this wonderful cause. All thanks to LSBR

I really liked the programme, especially the final unit on doing Research in Health and Social care where I was supposed to coordinate with any nearby Hospital or health centre. It turned out to be a real eye opener for me.
