About Your Diploma

Health and social care play a significant role in making up the fabric of our society. Essentially, professionals in this sector are in place to provide support and assistance to the people who require it most. If you believe that you could make a difference by working in health and social care, then kick-start your career by studying for the qualifications you need.

Health and social care workers support individuals who are at risk, unwell or have specific medical needs. They support families, young people, the elderly and the seriously ill in several ways, including maintaining good physical, mental health, and independent living.

To study a related degree at university, our Access to Higher Education Diploma (Health and Social Care) course will help you get there.

With the knowledge you gain through this course, you could pursue many important roles that relate to health and social care. Support work, community development, health promotion and nursing are just a few of the options that would be available to you.

This becomes possible by learning about human health in topics that explore developmental psychology, healthcare communication and equality, diversity, and inclusion in healthcare settings. You will also delve into how human health can be adversely affected by poverty, drugs, mental health disorders and other issues.
