Curricula – Health and Social Care

Vision

About 3 million people in the UK work in health and social care.  This includes jobs such as doctors, pharmacists, nurses, midwives, healthcare assistants and administrators, while social care roles include care assistants, social workers, occupational therapists and counsellors. Demand for both health and social care is likely to continue to rise and the demand for people to fill these vital jobs will increase. The health and social care department at the Radclyffe school aims to provide students with subject specific knowledge and skills that will allow our students to go on and succeed in the Health and Social care industry.
