Shipley College will welcome Anna Dixon MP on Friday, 7th March, at 1pm, as part of Colleges Week 2025, a national campaign celebrating the vital role colleges play in building brighter futures. The visit will focus on the college’s Health & Care provision, showcasing its cutting-edge immersive learning technology and innovative approach to preparing students for careers in the fast-moving health and social care sector.

The visit aligns with Friday’s Colleges Week theme: ‘Building an NHS Fit for the Future’, highlighting how Shipley College is equipping the next generation of healthcare professionals with the latest skills and technology. Many of Shipley’s students go on to work for the NHS and other health and care organisations—some even securing employment before finishing their studies.

Bringing Innovation to Healthcare Training

Despite its location in the historic heart of Saltaire, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Shipley College is at the forefront of modern healthcare education. Investment in AI-driven training, robotic-assisted learning, and immersive simulation rooms ensures students are prepared for the evolving demands of the sector.

Anna Dixon MP will have the opportunity to experience first-hand how Shipley College is leading the way in integrating technology into healthcare training, reinforcing its ambition to be the healthcare education leader for the district.
