● different life events and how individuals can adapt or be supported through changes caused by life events

● health and social care conditions, how they can be managed by the individual and the different health and social care services that are available ● the barriers and obstacles an individual may encounter and how these can be overcome

● the skills, attributes and values required to give care and how these benefit the individual

● how factors can affect an individual’s current health and wellbeing

● how physiological indicators and an individual’s lifestyle choices determine physical health

● the use of the person-centred approach

● recommendations and actions to improving health and wellbeing and the barriers or obstacles individuals may face when following recommendations and the support available to overcome.
