Health & Social Care

Health and Social Care is the study of health and well-being.

 
Through GCSE Single Award students learn about the key stages of physical and emotional development and begin to understand the profound influence relationships and life events can have on an individual’s health. Students also examine the factors that influence a person’s self-concept and how people react to change in their lives.
 
In GCE Applied Health and Social Care, students learn about health and well-being, child development and human behaviour. Students study care services including traditional and holistic therapies. They examine the rights and responsibilities of both patients and service providers. Students also look at the importance of communication in care settings and how positive care can be promoted.
 
Through practical activities, students apply their knowledge and understanding to work-related contexts and develop research, evaluation and problem-solving skills.
 

What can students do with a qualification in Health & Social Care?


This is an ideal course for students who want a broad background in health and social care. Many students with a qualification in GCE Applied Health and Social Care go on to degree-level study in a variety of subjects such as health studies, social policy, social science, social studies, psychology, nursing and/or social work. Other students go on to complete a BTEC Diploma in Health and Social Care. Some students go straight into employment in the fields of health and social care.
Many students with qualifications in Health and Social Care go on to have interesting and successful careers in childcare, nursing, midwifery, social work, and teaching, paramedics, counselling and health-visiting.
