Health & Sciences Event
For our Health & Sciences Event, the plan is for employers to deliver a series of talks to groups of students, studying Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Health & Social Care, Childcare, Applied Science & Psychology.
The focus of this event is as follows: The NHS is Europe’s largest employer, where there are more than 350 different careers – plus many more in private practice, and employees make a difference every day.
Many work with patients while others work behind the scenes. What they all have in common is that they make a difference to people’s lives. This event will allow learners to explore the vast opportunities within health and social care sectors, healthcare science and childcare, and raise awareness of some of the lesser-known roles available.
