AAQ Health and Social Care

Health and Social Care is an ideal choice if you are thinking of a career in the NHS, teaching or in the social care field. The course gives you a sound understanding of relevant topics that can be applied to all careers in this industry. You will study equality and diversity and the legislation that supports equal opportunities for all. You will gain a deeper awareness of the importance of communication and how things like body language and expression can impact on us all. You will work with others to demonstrate your communication skills and apply these in the real world on work experience in a health and social care setting. Students typically progress to apprenticeships, University or to our Children and Young People foundation degree at Furness College's Channelside campus.

The course gives you a sound understanding of the relevant topics that can be applied to all careers in this industry and includes one week of work experience.

This course will be studied alongside A Levels, Cambridge Technicals and BTECs as part of a mixed programme.
