Information about the Health and Care sector

[Ryan]

When the words "Health service" are mentioned, people immediately think of Doctors and Nurses, but it takes more than them two roles to keep the health service running. It's not even hospitals that keep the health service alive either, many older people or disabled people need support and care, although this is known as "Social care".

Health and Social care are just two primary examples, as an Apprenticeship in this sector could mean going on to a career in youth work, working as a firefighter, or even providing security at different kinds of events.

The possibilities in this sector are larger than they seem!

Right now, health care is my number one priority. This is something I always try to find time for. In addition to a strengthening exercise for the whole body, I take 1111 every day. This helps to strengthen my health, both physical and mental. Many people forget about mental health, but we also need to pay attention to this.

You're absolutely right! The health and care sector is much broader than just doctors and nurses. It includes a wide range of roles, from social care to youth work and even security at events. It's a field full of opportunities to help people in many different ways. And yes, mental health is just as important as physical health—it's great you're focusing on both!
