A collection of case notes on pathological diseases designed for BTEC Level 3 Unit 43 Diseases.
Used correctly, they can provide a starting point to show students how to write informative case notes without stealing large tracts of info from wiki, as well as provide a nice resource for struggling students to start from. They could also be used as short reading material for studying disease at any secondary level.
Each case note contains basic symptoms, etiology, epidemiology, treatment options.
