Learning Aim C2: Working Practices BTEC Health and Social Care Level 3 Unit 2

A two-part lesson lasting between 1-5-2 hours. The first powerpoint (skills to work in these areas) helps students to learn and apply their knowledge of the 6C’s. The first task is a mindmap to ‘learn/review’ what the 6C’s are. This is followed up by an article from nursingtimes.net (6C’s story of the Month) where students have to find examples of each of the 6C’s demonstrating their ability to apply their knowledge. Finally students compare the 6C’s to the RCN principles of nursing practice to identify similarity and differences.

Lesson two uses powerpoint two (working practices). This starts with a definition of key terms e.g. regulation, policy and procedure and then explains how these affect working practice. The final task is an independent research task which requires students to use the internet to review examples of poor practice (e.g. Mid-Staffordshire Hospital Trust, Jessica Chapman & Holly Wells as well as Victoria Climbe & Baby P. The powerpoint includes prompts, suggested websites and answers.
