Health and Social Care Practice

About this course

Health and social care practice is a degree for people who want to understand and contribute to the systems and services that support people in need of care, whether due to illness, disability, age, mental health challenges, or social disadvantage. It sits at the intersection of health sciences and social care, examining how services are organised and delivered, how practitioners work with individuals and families, what the evidence base for effective practice looks like, and how policy shapes the context in which care takes place. The degree develops both the knowledge and the reflective professional practice that are needed to work effectively and compassionately in this demanding sector. At the University of Northampton, health and social care practice is studied over three years of full-time study. The curriculum covers the biological and psychological foundations of health and well
