BTEC Extended Health and Social Care is a popular choice at KS5 for students wishing to gain a more practical hand’s on approach to learning which will gain students the equivalent of three A Levels. The course comprises of 13 units that students must undertake with a variety of external and internally assessed units. Core units range from Working in Health and Social Care, Anatomy and Physiology to understanding mental health and well-being. Work experience is compulsory; this will be 100 hours based over 3 placements in year 12. These placements will cover both health and social care to help students gain and apply their work based skills, communication, and teamwork and time management as well as develop personal and professional attributes which will enhance their employability. In addition to this, students will have an opportunity to participate in the NHS Befriend volunteer scheme at Pinderfields Hospital. As this is a professional role, students will undertake a period of training and gain the following level 2 qualifications; communication, safeguarding, dementia awareness as well the practical skills of safe wheelchair use. To support students in their studies the following enrichment activities have been planned; Gravity trampoline park, Nuffield health and fitness centre, care home visit, Temple Moor centre for interactive learning, the museum of mental health at Fieldhead Hospital. We also encourage students to participate in charitable events, which have included Race for Life. There are a number of guest speakers that will come in during the year including nurses, safeguarding ambassadors, social workers, dietitian and local experts in the field of health and social care.
