This week's free resources for the AAQ BTEC National are two factsheet bundles, covering essential knowledge for the examined Units.

The first features the all the Health & Social Care Professionals listed in the specification of Unit 1 Human Lifespan and Development. Each double-sided factsheet is carefully matched to the requirements of the specification and will directly lead to student exam success. The factsheets provide information on the role of the professional, how they meet service users’ needs, settings they work in and the population groups they work with. Each has a case study, featuring an individual with a prevalent health condition for their life stage, clearly showing the role of the professional in meeting their specific needs. Key terms students (and teachers) may be unfamiliar with are also defined.
