BA (Hons) Social Care and Health & Wellbeing University of Wolverhampton

Program Description

This module builds on Academic, Personal & Professional Development I: Skills for Study and focuses more explicitly on developing the skills and attributes required when working in health and care settings. The focus is on developing students who are competent, compassionate and effective professionals able to work in partnership with individuals, families, communities and with a range of wider agencies/organisations in order to improve health and social outcomes. The emphasis on “how” you work in partnership with individuals and groups and build effective relationships is vital in ensuring health outcomes are improved and inequalities reduced. In this module you will explore how health and social care is delivered in the UK (the structure, organisation, funding and regulation) as well as the legal, professional and ethical frameworks underpinning professional practice. You will look at the roles of different professionals, reflect on the values, knowledge and skills that are required to work in the sector and consider your own personal and professional development linked to these.
