Wendy, One possibility is the Sussex BSc in Human Sciences which includes aspects of health, philosophy, politics and communication. Sussex claims that "behind and informing the Human Sciences degree is the question: what is the relationship between the biological and social existence of human beings, between nature and culture?" and that the degree subject is "not a subject or a discipline in the traditional sense, but an opportunity to engage in interdisciplinary work that transcends the arbitrary division between the 'arts' and the 'sciences' and involves the study of aspects of a number of disciplines in relation to a central problem." The blurb http://www.sussex.ac.uk/Units/publications/ugrad2004/humansciences.html The syllabus: http://www.lifesci.sussex.ac.uk/teaching/biology/deg/prg/hums.php I did not take this degree myself, but I have friends who did, and who speak highly of it. BIOLS at Sussex has a good reputation.
