In terms of career, you can go in to a few NHS or private health care professions such as nursing, social work, occupational therapy (excluding professions such as medicine, physiotherapist ,scientist which require a scientific background) or you could teach, work in education or in childcare!
I only did GCSE health & social so I'm not much help on what the course is like!

The course is quite interesting and could lead to roles in the care and education sectors. Is this a BTEC? Most of the work you do will be assignments, some potential topics covered could be;
Most level 2 and level 3 courses require you to undertake some form of work experience.
Are you starting this course soon? Im surprised you don't already know this information.

- anatomy and physiology for health and social care
- enquiries into current research in health and social care
- meeting individual care and support needs

Hi, I'm starting this course very soon. I know what I'm going to be learning, but I would like to hear it from another persons perspective and what you can eventually do with it as a career, as I still don't know what I want to become when I'm older.

Science A levels ideally. Most universities want A level Biology &/or A level Physical Education + 1 Science / Science related A level such as Maths or Psychology. Health & Social A level without science A levels or just a health and social btec wouldn't cut it unfortunatly, its an extremely competitive course. I have friends who where predicted A*'s at A level in the sciences with tons of work experience rejected from all unis they applied too!
What are your goals?

My goal is to get a high grade so to speak in this 2 year course. I'm on level 3 extended btec diploma. I'm not sure where I want to go afterwards? I only know that I have a passion for wanting to help others, I've been inspire by family who work in the NHS too. Not sure where I want to go after this.. which is why i also asked from another persons perspective to what's involved in the course.😊

I finished my btec this year, most people went on to study nursing, midwifery, psychology and occupational therapy. I got in to study politics with it so it's quite flexible.
