Welcome to the How to Human Learning Hub
At Need a Life, we believe everyone deserves access to simple, practical resources that build confidence in learning, work, and life.
Our platform offers free, easy-to-understand materials focused on maths skills, academic development, and healthcare education — designed especially for adult learners, students, and professionals in training.
Build Strong Maths Skills
Mathematics plays a vital role in everyday problem-solving and healthcare practice. Our Maths Skills section helps you strengthen your understanding of numeracy, ratios, fractions, decimals, and powers of ten — all essential for clinical accuracy and academic confidence. You’ll find step-by-step guides, interactive quizzes, and medical maths examples such as dosage calculations and infusion rate formulas. These resources are ideal for nursing students, healthcare assistants, and anyone improving their basic maths skills for study or work.
Strengthen Your Academic Skills
Success in study and professional life begins with strong academic and study skills. In this section, you’ll discover strategies to take effective notes, manage your time, prepare for exams, and stay motivated throughout your learning journey. Our resources support critical thinking, research writing, and memory techniques to help you retain information and apply it confidently. Whether you’re returning to education or starting your first course, our tools are here to make learning achievable and enjoyable.
Explore Healthcare Knowledge
Our Healthcare Resources hub supports learners and practitioners in developing essential clinical understanding. Explore topics such as anatomy and physiology, body systems, patient care, and safe medication practices. You’ll also find guides on clinical reasoning, decision-making, and professional communication — key skills for nurses, caregivers, and allied health students. Each resource is written in clear, accessible language to help you build knowledge that supports both study and practice.
Maths Skills
Mathematics is the backbone of many academic and professional fields, especially in healthcare and data-driven disciplines. Our Maths Resources hub helps you:
- Master calculation order and rules (PEMDAS/BODMAS, algebraic manipulation)
- Understand and apply powers of ten, decimals, fractions, and ratios
- Gain facility in medical mathematics (drug dosages, infusion rates, unit conversions)
- Build confidence through worked examples, quizzes, and downloadable worksheets
Whether you’re brushing up on basic arithmetic or tackling nursing calculations, this hub supports learning at every level.
Academic Skills
Strong academic skills aren’t just for students — they’re tools for life. Here, you’ll find resources to:
- Develop effective reading, note-taking, and summarising techniques
- Adopt planning, time management, and goal-setting systems
- Learn memory strategies, exam preparation, and critical thinking frameworks
- Transition more smoothly between study, work, and everyday obligations
You don’t need to struggle alone: in this section, we share practices that help you stay motivated, organised, and adaptable in any learning journey.
Healthcare & Clinical Resources
For those in, entering, or exploring health and medical professions, our Clinical Resources hub offers:
- Core knowledge of body systems (integumentary, skeletal, sensory, homeostasis, etc.)
- Guidance on safe clinical practice, patient care techniques, and evidence-based methods
- Resources on dosage calculation, clinical reasoning, and decision making
- Case studies, refreshers, and applied exercises to bridge theory and practice
Our aim is to support learners at different stages — whether you’re a pre-nursing student, a practicing caregiver brushing up skills, or someone curious about health sciences.
Each hub includes reading modules, interactive exercises, downloadable materials, and cross-links so you can move smoothly between maths, academics, and healthcare content. Start wherever you need the most support — we’ll walk beside you in strengthening every link in your chain of learning.
