Student Workbook

The Student Workbook allows students to develop and demonstrate understanding. It supports the development of knowledge and skills needed to meet the unit assessment criteria of units 1,2,3,4 and 6.


This book focuses on and provides the knowledge and understanding needed to gain a BTEC qualification, but it never loses sight of the real world of heath and social care. By rooting the text in the real world the subject becomes more engaging and interesting to study.


Following the BTEC First specification closely, this means that all the topics and issues referred to are fully covered. The features, Chapter introduction, Key terms, Activities, Case studies, Topic check and Chapter checklist regularly appear throughout the book, making each topic covered more accessible. Realistic case studies, topic-focused spreads and interactive activities, encompass all the knowledge and understanding needed for the achievement of a BTEC First.
