The BTEC in Health and Social Care has been developed to meet the changing needs of the sector and prepare students for the challenges they will face in Higher Education or employment. It has been designed in collaboration with experts spanning the breadth of the sector, the BTEC in Health and Social Care focuses on the skills, knowledge, and understanding that today’s universities and employers demand. Students will practically apply their skills and knowledge in preparation for further study or the workplace. Students will develop professional and personal skills through interaction with people who either work in the sector or require care or support, as well as theoretical knowledge and understanding to underpin their skills. This will allow them to offer specific, person-centered care and support and build positive relationships with the people they are working with so that their needs and requirements are met whilst they maintain control of their own care and support. Students will consider the real impacts to people living with conditions or illnesses such as the social, financial and psychological impacts, not just the signs, symptoms, and treatment of faceless conditions or illnesses. Students will also learn about the legislation and guidance supporting Health and Social Care so that they can ensure the people they are working with are not only able to access all the care and support they are entitled to, but are also able to protect themselves from any harm or abuse whilst at work. The BTEC in Health and Social Care is split into different topics depending on which qualification you are doing: If you are choosing to do the Extended Diploma in Health and Social Care (1080 GLH) YOU will be doing these units over 2 years. (3 A level equivalent) plus compulsory work experience. Unit 1: Human Lifespan Development. Unit 2: Working in Health and Social Care. Unit 3: Anatomy and Physiology for Health and Social Care.
