    If you want to be a social worker then you would want to do a Social work degree - you can find out which courses are approved here: http://www.hpc-uk.org/education/prog...nSearchResults (untick the regions if you want to study locally).

    Health and Social Care isn't really a degree subject. You will need to think about what you want to do post-uni, and go for a vocational degree in that subject. Social work, nursing, speech and language therapy and occupational therapy are, amongst others, options.
