Where can this course take me?

The Health and Social Care Diploma is suitable for you if you have an interest in the care industry generally, and would be appropriate for you in a range of careers including nursing, midwifery, social work and primary education. You will study a variety of different topics including how to communicate with service users and how to work with a diverse society and to promote equality. In addition, you will study a number of different client groups for instance, patients, older people or those with disabilities, dementia or other mental health issues. You will look at how health and social care practitioners provide care in a variety of settings, and what the impact of that care might be for services users.

This qualification can lead to both higher education and/or the work place. Students on the course are offered high quality work placement opportunities and many progress onto apprenticeships or University courses with the aim of pursuing careers in nursing, midwifery, radiography, occupational therapy, social services and paramedic science. Previous students have also gone on to HR roles, Business and Administration as well as Psychology. It is the preferred alternative to Psychology A Level if you do not meet the entry requirements for a full A Level package.
