This comprehensive Home Study Course, "Advanced Practice in Health and Social Care", is perfect for anyone wanting to work or set up a private practice in the health and social care sector, and is excellent CPD material for those already working in a related field. The course is challenging, as would be expected at Level 4, and thoroughly covers a wide range of highly relevant subject matter from a strategic and business perspective in addition to a care-centred one.
As you will see from the description of the course, the range of the various components of the study of Health and Social Care is enormous. We are confident that whatever your next step, you will have a good grounding of the theory involved prior to undertaking on-the-job experience or, if you are already working in a related environment, your expertise will be increased considerably.
There are a number of essential components to the course, which can be explored by visiting the Course syllabus. One of the more detailed and in-depth areas of the course deals with the impact and effect of legislation. Legislation affects us all in every part of our lives, and the caring professions have their own rules, regulations and legal compliance requirements to deal with.
The course prepares you by providing expert interpretation and guidance on all of the legislative instruments you’re likely to come into contact with, including the NHS and Community Care Act 1990, The Suicide Act, The Children Act (1989 and 2004), The Childcare Act 2006, and diverse issues covered by legislation such as the Race Relations Act 1976 and the Human Rights Act.
