Perhaps you already work in a health or social care setting, maybe you provide informal care for a family member, or maybe you’re a regular user of health or social care services yourself and just want to learn more about your experiences and how to shape them.
The more you understand about how the health and social care system operates, and why people behave as they do within it, the easier it will be to navigate it and get the best outcomes for all concerned.Leading, managing, caring (K318) guides you through the basic foundations of a caring approach to leadership and management.
It provides you with the tools and insight to understand your role in relation to others, and what you can do to help achieve the best outcomes for all involved.

- Block 2: Caring relationships: In the second block you'll explore how theoretical understanding can support practical attempts to provide effective care, and work through complex situations with a variety of people.
- Block 3: Creating a caring environment: Next you'll move from focusing on relationships between people, to relationships between people and their environments.
