The Bootcamp is designed to give adults over 19 the practical skills and knowledge needed to work in various healthcare settings.
One attendee said: "I signed up for the Nursing Skills Bootcamp because I was looking for a complete career change from my work in Finance.
"It's been great hearing from people in the profession about why they choose nursing as a career and how rewarding it can be. It's shown me that a career in nursing is what I really want to pursue."
