BTEC Health and Social Care provides a knowledge and understanding of the health care sector in a vocational context. On completion of the course you will be able to analyse and evaluate different perspectives of health, you will gain imperative skills needed to work in the health care sector such as effective communication skills, empathy, professionalism, critical thinking, problem solving, intrapersonal skills and many more. There are two mandatory external examinations, one mandatory internal module and one optional unit. In year 12 we will look at the study of human lifespan development looking at the different life stages each individual passes through and how life events can impact on our growth and development. The course will look at many relevant issues that shape how healthcare professionals should conduct their work within health and social care settings and how they benefit patients: Can healthcare professionals have an impact on an individual’s lifespan? Are we disadvantaged in terms of the healthcare we receive based on the demographics of where we live? How does social class, gender and even race affect your health and care. Are we really at a disadvantage going to school in a socially deprived area? Living in a socially deprived area Is our health compromised by discrimination? Is this fair?
Students will need to have a grade 4 or higher in English and grade 4s in GCSE Science(s). A wider interest in the health and social care industry, and a willingness to research and produce work independently would be a significant advantage.
To pass this course you will need to pass the two external examinations. You are also expected to meet deadlines for assignments for each unit of study. Assessment methods will include: practical work group work presentations essays discussions The external examinations are mandatory and have to be passed in order to continue on the course.
