DHSC and RSPH launch new e-Learning resource for the Social Care Workforce

The Department of Health & Social Care in collaboration with the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) and key stakeholders from the social care sector has launched a groundbreaking eLearning resource designed to empower social care frontline workers and personal assistants across various care settings.

The resource, "Ten Public Health Tips for the Social Care Workforce" aims to enhance the confidence and skills of those in the social care sector by integrating public health approaches into their daily practice to contribute to effective and holistic care.

Why This Resource Matters?

With over 1.7 million professionals working in adult social care, the potential to adopt a 'prevention first' approach is enormous.

Social care workers are uniquely positioned within communities, interacting with millions of individuals and families every day. Their role is critical in helping people lead more independent and healthier lives, which underscores the significance of this new resource.

This course has been designed to help social care workers recognise their vital role in public health and how their work can improve health and wellbeing outcomes.
