Care Planning Level 2
The Care Planning Level 2 course is designed to equip healthcare support workers and adult social care workers with the necessary skills and knowledge to develop effective care plans that prioritize the best interests of individuals. The course focuses on person-centred care planning, empowering individuals to make decisions about their own care and enabling effective communication between care providers and service users.
The duration of the course is 3 hours, allowing participants to cover the essential aspects of care planning within a concise timeframe. The training is conducted in person by qualified trainers who are available throughout the UK. This approach enables learners to engage in interactive discussions, seek clarification on concepts, and receive immediate feedback from the trainer.
The course content aligns with several guidelines and standards, including NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) guidelines NG53, NG61 , and NG108 . These guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations for various aspects of care planning. Additionally, the course is mapped to the National Occupational Standard SFHGEN39, which sets out the competencies required for effective care planning.
Upon successful completion of the course, learners will be awarded a certificate that is valid for three years. This certificate serves as evidence of the individual's proficiency in person-centred care planning and their commitment to providing high-quality care. The course costs £365 for up to 12 learners. Prices may vary based on your requirements.
