UCF

The Unió Consorci Formació or UCF, is a joint initiative between La Unió (an association of health and social care organisations) and the Consorci de Salut i Social de Catalunya (Catalan Health and Social Care Consortium). Together they represent more than 120 health and social care organisations comprising more than 65,000 professionals. 

UCF was set up in 2005 to support and advise professionals and organisations in the health and social care sectors to develop training programmes and projects. It provides public and private sector knowledge and learning models in Catalonia and beyond. With a team of experts specialising in training and individual support, UCF is equipped with training resources, in-house materials and technology, and a teaching model geared towards learning and results.

UCF is on a mission to give health and social care professionals the knowledge and skills they need to meet new challenges brought in by the transformation in how we care for people. It provides training and support, and facilitates innovative learning experiences to nurture professional talent in the health and social care sector. Over the last year, around 45,000 professionals have participated in one of the 800+ UCF training actions. A total of 12,500 training hours have been delivered by a teaching community comprising more than 300 professionals working in the sector.
