The Open University
The Open University (OU) is a leading provider of flexible, high‑quality education across the UK and internationally.
Working with more than 2,700 organisations, we deliver undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, apprenticeships, short courses and free learning through OpenLearn. Most OU students are already in work, supported by our tutor‑led, flexible online model and open‑access approach, which removes barriers by not requiring prior qualifications for most courses.
For employers, we offer scalable learning solutions with minimal time away from the workplace and greater flexibility than traditional universities. We can support both large and small cohorts, adapting to organisational needs. Our nationwide academic network combines strong local insight with consistent quality, helping organisations upskill their workforce and meet evolving skills demands effectively.
What will be showcased on our stand?
At our stand, we have information to showcase how The Open University partners with healthcare providers to strengthen workforce development across the NHS and the wider health and social care sector. We can talk you what a successful collaboration looks like that adds real value through flexible, scalable learning solutions.
Visitors can explore information about our nursing apprenticeships, wider programmes in health and social care, as well as digital upskilling and leadership and management courses designed to support progression at every level.
Our expert team is on hand to discuss specific organisational needs your organisation has and demonstrate how our learning pathways help build a confident, future‑ready healthcare workforce.
