The CACHE Level 2 Certificate in Stroke Awareness and Prevention is an invaluable course designed to raise awareness about the critical nature of strokes. This programme equips learners with a comprehensive understanding of the effects of a stroke and provides essential guidance on supporting individuals who have experienced a stroke, as well as their carers.
One of the primary objectives of this course is to educate learners on the seriousness of strokes and the significant impact they have on individuals’ lives. Strokes are one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, making it imperative for those in health and social care roles to recognise the signs and respond promptly. This course covers the various symptoms and indicators of a stroke, emphasising the importance of early detection and immediate action to improve outcomes.
In addition to recognising the signs of a stroke, the course delves into the critical steps that must be taken during an emergency. This includes understanding the protocols for calling emergency services, providing initial care, and the importance of rapid medical intervention. By familiarising learners with these emergency procedures, the course aims to enhance their confidence and competence in managing stroke incidents effectively, potentially saving lives and reducing long-term disabilities.
The CACHE Level 2 in Stroke Awareness and Prevention also provides detailed insights into the different types of treatments available for stroke patients. This encompasses both acute treatments administered immediately after a stroke and long-term rehabilitation strategies. Learners will explore various medical and therapeutic interventions that can aid in recovery, such as clot-busting medications, physiotherapy, and occupational therapy. Understanding these treatments enables learners to better support stroke survivors in their journey towards recovery and independence.

Career Profile - Health Psychologist
Career Profile
Health psychologists apply psychological knowledge to promote positive lifestyles and help patients manage their physical and mental health
You’ll support patients, and their family, friends or carers, to understand their illness and the impact it can have on their emotions and behaviour.
Health psychologists, sometimes referred to as clinical health psychologists, often work within a multidisciplinary team (MDT), alongside other healthcare professionals. Such as GPs, nurses, surgeons, dieticians and rehabilitation specialists, as well as clinical psychologists and other health psychologists.
Types of health issues requiring psychologist support
You may support patients with a range of different acute or chronic health conditions, including:
* serious illness, such as cancer, where major life adjustments need to be made
* cardiac rehabilitation
* long-term poor diet and lack of exercise – associated with lifestyle choices
* diabetes or other long-term health issues requiring ongoing management
* pain management
* smoking cessation
* vaccination uptake
* stress-induced illnesses.
Responsibilities
As an Health psychologist, you’ll need to:
* identify behaviours that may damage your patients’ health, for example, smoking, substance abuse, physical inactivity and poor diet, and support them to take preventative measures to manage these
* explore your patients’ behaviour in relation to their health conditions to identify appropriate psychological interventions that can be used to support them
* develop interventions to address your patients’ health beliefs and empower them to develop their own sense of control over their health issues
* encourage positive healthcare behaviours, in line with the most recent health advice, such as healthy eating, attending health checks, maintaining good hygiene and sleep hygiene, and regular exercise
* take a person-centred approach towards looking at the psychological impact of illness on patients, families and carers, and support them to manage this
* provide information and advice to a range of individuals and organisations involved in public health, such as the NHS and local authorities, to improve best practice within the healthcare industry
* advise health professionals on how to improve their communication of sensitive and health-related information with their patients
* conduct psychological assessments of patients using interviews and psychometrics
* develop formulations to better understand, and help your patients to understand, their illness and its impact on their health
* attend MDT meetings to discuss patient care.
With experience, you may also need to:
* train and mentor trainee psychologists
* provide clinical and professional supervision for trainees and less experienced psychologists
* manage a team including other psychologists, assistant psychologists and other health staff
* manage, audit and develop health psychology services
* share expert knowledge and advise individuals, or small groups of clients, on managing their health within a consultancy role.
Salary
* Trainee health psychologists in the NHS start at £35,392 (Band 6) of the Agenda for Change – pay rates.
* After qualification, salaries in the NHS start at £43,742, rising to £50,056 (Band 7).
* More experienced psychologists can earn between £50,952 and £68,525 (Bands 8a and 8b), with consultant health psychologists earning salaries of £70,417 to £96,376 (Bands 8c and 8d).
NHS health psychologists also receive additional benefits including a good pension and an NHS blue light discount card.
Research and lecturing posts at universities often follow academic and related staff scales. For salary details, see the University and College Union (UCU).
More experienced health psychologists, and those working in private healthcare, may have a higher salary. Health psychologists in senior positions may work with complex client cases and be expected to take on additional leadership responsibilities.
Working Hours
Health psychologists usually work a 37.5-hour week, although this may vary based on the organisation that you are employed by. Many employers offer flexible working arrangements, such as varied working hours and part-time work.
If you’re a self-employed health psychologist, you could work from home, but may also need to work some evenings or weekends to suit your clients’ needs.
Some health psychologists combine part-time work in academia with NHS or independent private practice work or choose to follow a full-time academic career.
What to expect
* Supervision by more experienced colleagues is essential before qualifying as a health psychologist, and important throughout your career.
* There are opportunities to specialise in working with patients that have a particular group of health conditions, including oncological, haematological, chronic pain, chronic fatigue and eating disorders.
* The work can be challenging and upsetting, but also rewarding, as it involves contact with different types of people who are unwell and often distressed.
Skills
You’ll need to have:
* a good understanding of advancements and advice in the healthcare industry
* the ability to apply your knowledge of academic psychology and research to health-related problems
* excellent communication and interpersonal skills for communicating health information to patients, carers and members of the MDT
* critical thinking and analytical skills for applying statistical and written data within a research environment
* self-motivation and the ability to work independently
* teamworking skills and the ability to collaborate with colleagues from other disciplines
* time management and organisation skills
* a strong understanding of the profession and the role of a health psychologist, as well as an awareness of current NHS and public health issues
* a compassionate and empathetic approach to work
* emotional resilience to support people with health problems of varying severities.
Career prospects
Once you’ve qualified, and gained some experience as a health psychologist, you can apply for more senior roles.
You could take on a related role, such as a high-intensity therapist, or roles such as principal health psychologist, consultant health psychologist or head of a psychological service. These positions require many years of experience working in applied settings and also typically include managing and supervising trainees, or less experienced, health psychologists.
At consultant level, your workload may be quite broad, supporting multiple teams or a department. Alternatively, it may be very specific, focusing on your specialism.
It’s also possible to pursue a career as a health psychologist in academia. You’re likely to spend much of your time in the first few years building up your teaching skills and experience and developing your research profile. If you’re based in a university setting, you may teach and supervise trainee health psychologists and other healthcare professionals. To progress your career, you’ll need to keep an active research profile and show a willingness to take on different roles.

Course Qualification - What qualification will I receive?
Course Qualifications
Course QualificationsThis is a dual-certification course and you will therefore receive two qualifications. This course is certified by Open Learning College via the Open Pathway Accreditation Programme & NCFE CACHE.
NCFE CACHE (Council for Awards in Care, Health and Education) are a leading awarding organisation specialising in in the care and education sector. CACHE endorse a range of qualifications to individuals and organisations throughout the UK and internationally.
At the end of this course successful learners will receive a Level 3 NCFE certificate of achievement. That means that it is independently accredited at a level of learning equivalent to Level 3 on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) for England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Accreditation by NCFE is a guarantee of quality. It means that this learning programme has been scrutinised and approved by an independent panel of experienced educational professionals and is quality audited biannually by NCFE.
NCFE is recognised as an awarding body by the qualification regulators (‘regulators’) for England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The regulators are the Office of the Qualifications and Examinations Regulator (Ofqual) in England, the Department for Children, Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills (DCELLS) in Wales and the Council for Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment (CCEA) in Northern Ireland.

Grading & How it Works
The UK has a unique higher education grading system. Its most unique feature compared to traditional grading systems is that it aims to be more specific in describing students’ academic achievement.
This type of assessment method is highly valued because it offers many advantages. Most importantly it highlights your academic strengths and specific skills, therefore, it helps employers gain a better understanding of your true potential.
Since it is proved to be such an efficient tool to assess students’ performance, many foreign countries like Canada, Australia and India are using the same grading system on some occasions with small changes to fit into their own local educational context.
We use a letter grade scale from A to F to indicate the students’ academic performance. If you get an A it means you have shown outstanding knowledge whereas if you get an F it means your score is not sufficient to pass the exam.
