Study Skills for Health and Social Care Students

not my module but mentioned informally to my tutor group -- Dr Pam Alldred * drupal *
This text supports well the work that Health and Social Care students are currently doing in their Study Skills sessions. It has been useful to be able to recommend students to read sections of this, e.g. being a reflective practioner and developing self-directed study in order to support the learning that is being completed in class. It will certainly help students who have been out of education for some time to make that transition from Further to Higher Education. -- Lara Bukhshov * drupal *
An excellent learning resource for foundation degree students. Includes helpful activities that can be adapted and used in the classroom. -- Miss Jacky Foster * drupal *
I ordered this for my level 3 health and social care students, i however felt that the ideas in this text are slightly to complex for them. Really useful for myself though as a teacher. -- Miss Katey Ribchester * drupal *
I would strongly recommend this book to students as it can help them to develop the study skills they need for health and social care foundation, HND and undergraduate programmes of study -- Miss Martina Kirlew * drupal *
The case studies have helped build more knowlege for students and is recommended when teachers want to deliver a communication lesson to develop discussions. -- Miss Yeeman Lam * drupal *
A very clear text which addressed core academic and practice skills which are transferable to the workplace. Students have found the text beneficial, helping them to improve their presentation abilities and reflective practice which are fundamental in practice.
A great text for a foundation degree. -- Mr Adam Chilvers * drupal *
This very slim volume has already saved many of my students from despair. A bold claim but true nonetheless! For so many of the older students I have been working with in recent years I have found that many of them had debilitating early experiences of education which remain all too live for them in their current situation. Most of these students have repressed the fears they had around academia to a sufficient degree that they have found themselves able to approach a course of study in later years, but it is not until we ask them to write an essay, structure a report or heaven forbid conduct some small research that the full horror comes flooding back to them. In this context a book such as this offers a veritable rescue package of timely information which can enable the mature student to find their way back to study without pain, outlining as it does what is required in user friendly terms and what is more in that all important slimmed down version that makes it seem approachable even before they open the book.
The learners I am currently working with are Advanced Practitioners rather than student nurses and are therefore generally a little more senior in years, and at the other end of things I work with much younger learners on a managerial course in a care context: both are served by the text as both have either fear as outlined above, or in the case of younger learners they need to adapt to a more independent model of learning. -- Mr Andrew Thorne * drupal *
An excellent text for our foundation course students to help them make the transition to higher education. -- Mr Dave Mason * drupal *
Useful introductory text as part of a range of study skills resources for new students. -- Mr Martin Hardwidge * drupal *

An excellent return to study aid for those working or studying in Health and Social Care. From Foundation Degree to QCF Diploma this book will become an essential tool for study. -- Mr Maurice Fordy * drupal *

Understanding and using reflection will be particularly useful for Personal and Professional Development -- Mrs Emma Hinch-Chambers * drupal *
Will be suggested to learners studying at Level 3 (BTEC Health Studies, BTEC Social Care and Access to HE) who need to develop their study skills. It looks like it will be especially useful for those who have been away from learning for some time. -- Mrs Emma Hinch-Chambers * drupal *

Covers the basic requirements to make the most of studying and can be good preparatory material to read prior to studies.

this was generally a handy accompaniment to study which increasingly I think students find useful. -- Ms Christine Smith * drupal *
