NHS Professionals - Pre employment course

Hi. I'm a prospective medic, and I've seen quite a few NHSP jobs as a CSW in the north west (where I live). I'm quite keen on them but I don't have the required 3 months experience they ask for. I've volunteered in a hospital for over a year and in a care home, and have plenty of extra currics, but I don't have experience AS an actual CSW.

I've heard about the pre employment course they offer but information is scarse on google. Does anyone have any email addresses or phone numbers for people in the north west who sort out these courses? Articles such as this http://www.nursingtimes.net/nursing-times-this-weeks-issue/nhs-professionals/how-... suggest you contact the people concerned, and get on the waiting list. Either way, I need someone to contact in the north west, any suggestions/ideas/numbers/emails?

Thank you
