Course summary

As part of the course, you will develop professional and personal skills through interaction with people, who either work in the sector or require care or support. This will allow you to develop a person-centered approach to care and support and build positive relationships with the people you are working with. You 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 illnesses. In addition, you will also learn about the legislation and guidance supporting health and social care, so that you can ensure the people you 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.
