Health and Social Care

Health and Social Care allows students to explore and develop their knowledge of human lifespan development and practices and systems within health and social care. Throughout the course students will develop the ability to identify, explain and analyse. They will be able to recall the different life stages we experience and how we can measure our growth and development. Students will also be able to identify the barriers faced when accessing health care and how they can be overcome.
Health and Social Care (HSC) gives invaluable opportunities for students to explore careers within the sector as well as having exposure to industry professionals and work collaboratively with each other, developing teamwork and leadership skills. The content taught explores many topics that challenge students’ viewpoints and celebrate our diversity.
HSC taught at Winterstoke Hundred encourages all students to feel confident in exploring current issues within the industry. It equips students with the subject specific skills and knowledge necessary for future learning and careers, and develops transferable skills for life.
