Health Studies

Assessment

These units will give learners an understanding of health and social care within the wider contexts of different environments and settings where care takes place, the different individuals that learners might meet and care for or support, the importance of effective communication in health and social care, the importance of legislation in health and social care and the principles behind the person-centred approach to care and how this is applied in the workplace. Learners will also develop transferable skills such as communication skills, research and investigative skills, planning, and organization. Learners will then select additional units from a range of 15 optional units. These optional units will give learners an appreciation of workplace practices and an understanding of how to promote and support a healthy and active lifestyle.
