HSC304 Assignment Brief

Unit Aim

Within this unit learners will look at the role of person-centred care in their interactions with service users. They will also consider other models of care delivery and discuss their strengths and weaknesses in delivering care needs to different populations of service users.  Delivering high- quality care is not always easy and learners  will look at potential ethical issues that could arise and how these could be dealt with.

Learners will develop an understanding of the difficulties of balancing individual autonomy and minimising potential risk to vulnerable service users.

Learners will look at relevant health and social care legislation that impacts upon both those delivering care and individuals receiving care. The role of government departments and other agencies in producing legislation and guidance  and how this affects local policies, procedures and care delivery will be discussed.

Please note that for learners working in or studying the qualification in the UK, their evidence in relation to legislation, regulations, codes of practice etc must be in a UK context. If learners are not in the UK,  they must state the country they are referring to in relation to these areas.
