About Health & Social Care

Health and Social Care (which is often abbreviated as H&SC) is a subject that combines elements from biology, sociology, nutrition, law and ethics. The study allows students to explore areas that influence how we develop throughout life and teaches them how to live successful and healthy lives.

Depending on their qualifications and wishes, after they finish their studies students can start off as care assistants and later follow careers as doctors, paramedics, nurses, social workers, psychotherapists and more.

What do you study in Health & Social Care?

As mentioned previously the course typically consists of a combination of other subjects. 

  • Biology - Biology plays a particularly important part in Health & Social Care classes as many students wish to pursue a career in healthcare. They learn about how humans grow and develop physically as well as studying a wide range of illnesses and their treatments.
  • Law and ethics - students in H&SC require good base knowledge in the legal aspects of what is required of care practitioners. They need to have up-to-date knowledge of different laws regarding human rights, discrimination, welfare and so on. 
  • Ethics - when students start working in the healthcare sector they will have to deal with and support individuals who feel like they’ve been treated unfairly or don’t have access to appropriate care services. Confidentiality, privacy and exercise of personal choice are ethical dilemmas encountered on a daily basis in the field of social care. 
  • Nutrition - Health and social care also opens up career options for people interested in nutrition. Students are taught more about how to create and implement personalised diets for people using care services. 

Overall the subject of Health & Social Care covers a very wide range of topics and incorporates various different elements. Students will get the opportunity to study different courses and decide for themselves what exactly they want to specialise in later on in their careers.
