With a wide range of centre assessed units with practical and wider project-based assessment opportunities, as well as examined units on 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, has resulted in focused qualifications which constitute the bulk of a two-year study programme.
The Cambridge Technical in Health and Social Care has been developed to meet the changing needs of the sector and prepare you for the challenges you’ll face in Higher Education or employment.
Designed in collaboration with experts spanning the breadth of the sector, the Cambridge Technical in Health and Social Care focuses on the skills, knowledge and understanding that today’s universities and employers demand.
You will practically apply your skills and knowledge in preparation for further study or the workplace.
You will develop professional and personal skills through interaction with people who either work in the sector or require care or support, as well as theoretical knowledge and understanding to underpin your skills.
This will allow you to offer specific, person-centred care and support and build positive relationships with the people you are working with, so that their needs and requirements are met whilst they maintain control of their own care and support.
Within your programme of study, 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 faceless conditions or illnesses.
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
