In the world of health and social support, carers often notice what others might overlook. The Observation Skills for Carers course focuses on sharpening the attention to detail that defines good care. Whether caring for the elderly, individuals with disabilities, or those with mental health conditions, being observant can mean the difference between timely support and missed signs. This course explores how to detect subtle changes in mood, physical health, behaviour, appetite, and speech patterns—vital indicators for carers to respond effectively.

By training your eye and ear for detail, this course helps carers develop habits that support safe, ethical, and person-centred care. It dives into topics like recognising deterioration, documenting observations, understanding body language, and knowing when and how to report changes. The modules are designed with clarity and relevance, making it easy for carers to apply what they learn. This is not just a course; it’s an essential foundation for anyone who takes their duty of care seriously. And if you’re counting, we’ll be mentioning carers plenty—just how Google likes it.
