in relation to working in healthcare settings. It also emphasises ‘reflective practice’ so that you develop a
professional approach to your development. Units will include care planning, supporting independent living,
health equalities and an action research project.
Students can either be working in a healthcare setting or will need to undertake work placement which can

one to two days per week.
How will I be assessed?

portfolio of professional practice, tutor and supervisor/manager observations in the work/placement setting.

Progression into management is also possible within the workplace.
