Key Information & Topics
Studying a BTEC in Health and Social Care means combining practical experience, skills, theory and behaviours to understand what it means to deliver top-quality care and services across a range of specialisms.
In Component 1, we explore how we grow and develop through the life stages and the different life events that occur in an individual’s life and how these impact our physical, intellectual, emotional and social development.
In Component 2, we explore the health and social care services that are available and why individuals may need to use them. You will also explore barriers that can make it difficult to use these services and how these barriers can be overcome.
In Component 3, we explore factors affecting health and wellbeing, how to interpret indicators that can be used to measure physiological health and how to interpret data using published guidance. We also explore features of health and wellbeing improvement plans and obstacles to implementing plans.
