This short higher-level programme focuses on:

Principles of Health Education

Health education is a key role of all healthcare practitioners and is aimed at equipping others with the knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes necessary to promote and maintain health and, ultimately, positively influence health outcomes. In addition, health education is a key focus for the government, underpinned by the significant increase in funding in this area over recent years owing to its significant benefits to health outcomes.

Reflective Approaches in Implementing Person-centred Practice

Reflective practice is used throughout the health and social care professions as a means of improving skills, reviewing how situations were managed and identifying areas in need of further development. This promotes the use of best practices and a more professional approach to the users of services. Reflective practice works to ensure that a high-quality service is offered to the users of services, and the effective practitioner identifies areas for development and where they can share good practice.

I have completed two placements at Shortwood Primary School as part of my studies. This has helped me to decide on my future aim of becoming a Primary School Teacher. I enjoy Health & Social Care as it helps me balance out my workload.

I really enjoyed my placement at The Column Nursery. The staff there were very friendly and approachable. This placement has allowed me to develop my skills with younger children, which I think will help me whilst working towards my future career. I definitely recommend working with The Column Nursery.

Level 3 Extended Diploma in Health & Social Care
Previous school: William Brookes School

When I was younger I spent a lot of time in hospital and the wonderful staff inspired me to pursue a career as a midwife. The teachers always answer your queries and help you manage your time. Last year I got a distinction for Level 2 and was eager to come back this year. The partnership between SCG and the NHS offers an amazing opportunity. I have started as a Health Care Assistant at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.
