The Spring term has already been busier than ever for the tutor2u HSC Team!

In February we met many of you for another fantastic round of in person CPD. The good news is we do it all again in the Summer and places are already booking up. If you wish to update your knowledge and skills for BTEC Tech Award, AAQ BTEC National or the new Pearson T Level Health, please look at what we have to offer: Summer CPD for HSC

The publication of our Unit 6 Safe Environments Knowledge Book brings our total up to five student Knowledge Books covering the new AAQ BTEC National Extended Certificate. The Unit 6 book offers full coverage of the unit specification and preparation for the Pearson Set Assignments through carefully thought out activities and case studies. All our AAQ BTEC National resources, including Exam Skills and Assignment Success Workbooks can be previewed in our shop: Resources for AAQ BTEC National in Health & Social Care

We continue to work on bringing you the very best free to download/use resources. Just this morning new resources were added on the endocrine, renal and musculoskeletal systems to our collection for Unit 2 Human Biology & Health and Unit 6 Safe Envirionments is the latest unit to be resourced with a full set of Knowledge Organisers and Key Terms Glossary. We have also launched a Weekly Quiz and In the News Teaching Activity, both of which will run every week in term time. These topical activities are fantastic to enrich and extend your students' knowledge by exploring current health and social care related news.

The biggest buzz of all surrounds our online resources, to which we have recently added the AAQ BTEC National Health & Social Care Question Bank which contains 341 questions targeting Unit 1 Human Lifespan & Development and 480 questions targeting Unit 2 Human Biology & Health. A valuable addition to the revision toolkit for any Health & Social Care student. We'd love to hear how your students get on with it!

All freebies can be found here (bookmark the page): Latest Free Health & Social Care Resources

Finally, this week sees the start of the Grade Booster revision workshop tour. There are still places in Manchester, Birmingham and London, for our BTEC Tech Award, AAQ BTEC National and NCFE T Level Health workshops. We look forward to seeing you there!
