Looking after others isn’t just about being caring and sensitive to their needs. These are vitally important, of course, but you also need to be a highly skilled practitioner in your field. You need an in-depth understanding of care situations and how to respond.

With a BTEC Higher National in Health and Care you will learn these skills. Whether you choose to specialise in Care Practice, Early Years or Managing Health and Social Care, you’ll begin with some fundamentals of care, such as:

• Equality and diversity
• Risk assessment
• Decision making
• Quality in health and care services
• Effective resource management
