| Sumario: | Ever‐changing societal forces impact the work of health and social care professionals. The aim of this study was to consult previous literature to identify future working‐life requirements that apply to both health and social care professionals. The knowledge produced by this study could contribute to the strategic planning of degree and continuing education. A scoping review was conducted in which we searched for peer‐reviewed scientific papers published in English from January 2017 to October 2023. The 28 papers selected in accordance with the predefined inclusion criteria were examined using thematic analysis. The findings show that health and social care professionals' future working‐life requirements still reflect a traditional, client‐centred, collaborative work orientation, such as in the use of advanced technology for care provision. It is worth noting that health and social care professionals are expected to integrate sustainability into all care and services. In addition, they are expected to be proactive and resilient so they can succeed in their future working lives. The findings indicate that both degree and continuing education must be constantly adapted to ensure health and social care professionals' success and relevance in their complex and evolving working lives.
