Course Overview

Course Overview
Explore fundamental aspects of health and social care, emphasizing practical skills and foundational knowledge. This course prepares learners for further study or entry into the field.
This course provides an overview of the essential principles and practices in the field, including the importance of health and well-being, effective communication, and the role of social care in supporting individuals and communities. You’ll learn about the various health and social care settings, the responsibilities of care providers, and the skills needed to deliver compassionate and effective care. As part of the first session, we ask learners to complete a short English and basic numeracy assessment, as you will be building a portfolio over the 12 weeks and will need good understanding to complete the written work. You will be supported throughout the course by your tutor and other learners.
