Learners will then be able to apply this understanding and make recommendations to improve the nutritional health of an individual. Unit introduction This unit builds on learner understanding of the principles introduced in Unit 5: Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology for Health and Social Care. Improvements in the diet of individuals are increasingly being recognised as a significant factor in maintaining, or effecting improvements, in overall health. It is therefore important that people working in the health and social care sectors, or those who are responsible for the wellbeing of others, have a good understanding of nutrition and diet. This unit gives learners an understanding of nutrition from a science-based perspective and of the role that food plays in social contexts. The unit may also provide useful underpinning knowledge for the study of food hygiene and practical culinary skills. Learners will explore concepts of nutrition using the language of nutritional science. Different aspects of nutritional health will be defined and routine ways of measuring this explored. Other aspects of nutritional data will involve describing...

...In this piece of work I will be looking at social context that influence the effectiveness of health education campaigns. I will be focusing my work on the “change 4 life” campaign. The three influences I’m basing my work on include, financial problems, peer pressure and social setting. The “change 4 life” campaign focuses on improving the health of both young children and adults. It promotes healthy eating through starter packs and online diet plans as well as encouraging participants to take part in excising. The change 4 life campaign is accessible online where those who visit can access a full range of information include 10 minute exercise suggestions, tips on how to cut down sugary food and alcohol intake and also gives advice on local activities happening within their area. The change 4 life campaign is advertised through the web, TV adverts, and leaflets and also through the National Health Service. Financial constraints can affect the health of individuals positively and negatively. Financial strain can affect the ability to shop for food that is more healthier as access to such shops is hard to come by, instead individuals may find it easier to access their local fast food restaurant as its cheaper but also for some people it’s just more convenient. The good thing about change for life is that its aimed at families who live on a budget the change 4 life campaign helps support those struggling financially but wishing to pursue a healthier lifestyle by offering vouchers...

...Unit 5: Anatomy and Physiology for Health and Social Care Task 4- P4 Energy within the human body can be associated with the function of different body systems, this comprises of respiratory, cardiovascular and the digestive system. The different body systems that I will be talking about are the cardiovascular and respiratory system. There are many different phrases and words used when describing and explaining how the body systems are linked to energy metabolism. The meaning of metabolism is the chemical process or reaction that takes place within a living organism in order to maintain life. Some of the chemical reactions require breaking down molecules while at the same time releasing energy- this is the definition of the catabolic reactions. Instead of breaking down molecules the process of anabolism is to build intricate molecules from simple substances by using energy which again acts as a catalyst. There are many different activities involved in supplying energy to the variety of cells in the body. The first system that I will be talking about is the respiratory system. The main job that constantly takes place is the system refreshing the lung oxygen and the disposal of waste substances and products, this often includes water and carbon dioxide. The removal of these waste products and the refreshing of the lungs happen during the process of what we call breathing. The oxygen that has been dissolved is transported to cells around the body; the transportation method is...

...Credit value: 5 1 Communication in health and social care Health and social care professionals need good communication skills to develop positive relationships and share information with people using services. They also need to be able to communicate well with people’s families and/or carers and their own colleagues and other professionals. It is important therefore, if you are considering a career in health and social care, to gain the knowledge, understanding and practical skills needed to develop effective interpersonal skills. There are several different forms of communication used in a health and social care environment. This unit looks at verbal and non-verbal communication methods. You will gain an understanding of the communication cycle, looking at how to make sure that communication is effective and messages understood at each stage. You will also learn to recognise a range of factors which may create barriers to communication. You will then consider ways in which these barriers may be overcome, including the use of alternative forms of communication. You will be given the opportunity to observe and discuss communication methods used by professionals – skills which you will practise and refine. You will then demonstrate your communication skills in both one-to-one and group situations. This unit has links with Unit 2 (Individual needs in health and social care), Unit 5 (Vocational experience) and Unit 6 (Cultural diversity) as it will develop...

Employee relations means the relationship between an employee and employer, and this is largely controlled by legislation and is being revised and updated continuously. It is important for learners to appreciate how good employee/employer relations contribute to the success and effectiveness of a business. In this unit they will investigate how cooperation between employers and employees leads to the development of good working relations against a changing background. The success of a business often relies on its relationships with its employees. Learners will investigate and explore different types of industrial conflict and the procedures for resolving this. It is important that learners are aware of change and keep up to date with developments in dispute procedures in relation to employment law. Legislation and EU directives play a major role in employee relations and learners will examine how these are...
