Increasing the diversity of the health and social care workforce leads to improved quality of care for patients, better patient adherence to medical and self-care regimes, and improved outcomes. This paper presents the details of the design, delivery, and evaluation of the Collaboraborative Targeted Outreach Programme (CTOP) which is a culturally competent outreach intervention developed from research and co-designed with people from diverse backgrounds living in Luton, Bedford and Milton Keynes (BLMK), three towns in the UK, to engage with young people, parents, career-switchers and underrepresented groups to improve knowledge, perceptions, status and the numbers of people choosing courses and careers in health and social care.
