About this course

Full-time | 2024

This programme will be of specific interest to you if you are seeking to develop or advance your career in health, care or public health.

The course content matches that of the first year of the Fd Health, Care and Social Care. It has been designed to enhance student employability, providing excellent outcomes in either employment or progression to professional study. There is a significant vocational focus to the programme and a range of work experiences and/or placement settings are available to you for development of learning in practice.

Modules

You will develop an understanding of the theory underpinning care practice, which will enhance the quality of care you provide for your clients either in work or on placement. The content of the curriculum is strongly influenced by the principles of wellbeing and prevention and the recognition that an individual, their family, and/or, carer must be enabled to make decisions regarding their own care.

Modules will include:
• Work-Based Learning: Health and Social Care Practice
• Safeguarding Vulnerable Individuals
• Academic Study Skills and Digital Literacy
• Health and Wellbeing in Context

Assessment methods

You are assessed through formative assessments to help develop your academic skills as well as several forms of summative assessment including assignments, examinations, presentations, portfolio work, case studies, workbooks and projects.

50% is assessed through a work-based e-portfolio demonstrating practice development achieved within the workplace/placement.
