Listening, supporting, protecting The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is dedicated to helping people live healthier, happier, more independent lives for longer. We lead, shape and fund health and care in England, making sure people have the support, care and treatment they need to stay well and care well for others. We do this with compassion and respect, recognising and protecting the dignity they need and deserve. This year, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is proud to showcase its work and priorities across a range of plenary sessions and ‘meet and greets’ in our DHSC stand.
