Health and Social Care isn’t just about bedpans and paperwork—it’s the backbone of dignity in vulnerable moments. This course equips you with the knowledge to navigate complex care systems, from safeguarding protocols to ethical dilemmas. Whether you’re supporting dementia patients or coordinating community services, Levels 3 and 5 build expertise that’s as practical as it is compassionate (minus the actual bedpans).
Designed for busy professionals, the curriculum dissects legislation like the Care Act 2014 and Mental Capacity Act, blending theory with strategies for real-world challenges. Level 3 lays foundations in communication and duty of care, while Level 5 tackles leadership in multi-agency settings. No need to attend clinical workshops; our online modules let you debate ethical case studies between school runs or night shifts.
