Overview

What is This Course About?

The Online Health and Social Care Course covers many of the important elements and concepts of working in the health and social care field. It looks at different care services designed to meet a variety of individual and community-based needs, and also explores the duties and responsibilities of health and social care workers in the development and delivery of such services. Additionally, the course examines concepts, values and procedures that are imperative to the delivery of person-centred care, such as communication, diversity and equality, confidentiality, duty of care, and safety in practice.

Health and social care is more than just caring for the ill and providing support to vulnerable populations. It is also about educating people on health and wellness and the development and promotion of a wide range of medical programmes and treatments. As health and social care is wide in scope, choosing to enter this field requires a knowledge and understanding of the issues and challenges of the people that use health and care services as well as the policies, principles, values and systems that underpin the practice. Through this course, students will be able to attain such knowledge and understanding, which should prepare them well to enter the field and enable them to provide quality care and support to the public.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
