Information Dates and EnrolmentSummary
Please note, this is a fully online course and you will be given access to an online portfolio upon successful completion of the initial assessment process.
People in the UK now have an average life expectancy of 72 years. The population aged 65 years and over is now growing faster than the working age population aged 16 to 64 years; but not everyone remains healthy throughout.
This course is suitable for a wide range of learners who wish to develop their knowledge and understanding of working with the elderly. It may be useful as an introduction for those who wish to pursue a career in working in elderly care settings, and those wishing to expand on their existing knowledge.
The course is split into six units:
Unit 1: Principles of elderly care in the UK
Unit 2: Maintaining health and well-being in elderly care
Unit 3: Common health issues affecting individuals in elderly care
Unit 4: Individual rights in elderly care
Unit 5: Minimising risk in elderly care
Unit 6: Communication in elderly care
