Health and Social Care is a broad term that relates to integrated services that are available from health and social care providers. .As a subject discipline, Health and Social Care (H&SC) can be taken at various academic and vocational levels from QCF, GNVQ, A-Level and S/NVQ, to degrees. The subject combines elements of sociology, biology, nutrition, law, and ethics. Typically, students of Health and Social Care will have a work placement alongside their academic studies; such a placement may take place in a nursery, residential home, hospital, or other caring establishment. 

Depending on their qualification, students may start off as care assistants and develop care pathways to become doctors, nurses, social workers, physiotherapists, counsellors, psychotherapists, paramedics or a range of other related occupations.
