Subject introduction
Health and social care is a vast service sector undergoing rapid change, with new government initiatives giving it a higher profile than ever. Priorities on the healthcare agenda include being more responsive to patient needs and preventing illness by promoting a healthy lifestyle. The focus in frontline health and social care is on giving service users more independence, choice and control. These developments mean there’s greater demand for well-trained and multi-skilled people across a range of rewarding employment opportunities. Our courses cover topics ranging from health sciences, health studies, nursing, public health, social care, social work and sport and fitness.
