Main description:

This is a fully up-to-date "Candidate Handbook", written by Yvonne Nolan, with the revised evidence and assessment opportunities consumers have requested.

Features knowledge specifications continually referenced in the margin so that readers know what is being covered and can prepare for assessment.
New evidence opportunity features are clearly linked to specific performance criteria and are cross-referenced to other elements within the qualification - helping candidates to plan holistically.
Includes updated legislation and references to regulations where appropriate so that candidates and assessors have the most current information on frameworks related to the health and social care sector.
Features new information on the latest movements and trends in health and social care so that readers are aware of initiatives that may affect their working practice.
New edition also includes many updated photos to demonstrate best practice more clearly.
