Why should I study Health and Social Care? The Health and Social Care sector will have more than 14.5 million available jobs worldwide by 2030. As a result, the CTEC Health and Social Care has been designed in collaboration with experts spanning the breadth of the sector. It focuses on the skills, knowledge and understanding that today’s universities and employers demand. This will allow students to offer specific, person-centred care and support and build positive relationships with the people they are working with, so that their need and requirements are met whilst they maintain control of their own care and support. Course Overview Health and Social Care is an exciting qualification equivalent to one A Level which covers areas including equality, diversity and rights in health and social care; health, safety and security in health and social care; anatomy and physiology for health and social care; personalisation and a person-centred approach to care and safeguarding. 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 following units are covered as a part of the course: Unit 1: Building positive relationships in Health and Social Care Unit 2: Equality, diversity and rights in Health and Social Care Unit 3: Health, safety and security in Health and Social Care Unit 4: Anatomy and physiology for Health and Social Care Unit 10: Nutrition for health Unit 13: Sexual health, reproduction and early development stages What can I do afterwards?
