After the success of our recent NHS National AHP Work Experience session, I am thrilled to extend an invitation to your students in years 10-13 or S3-S6 year groups for our upcoming session on Sunday 7th April, 8:30am – 5pm, focusing on Communication & Fractures.
Register here: https://alliedhealthmentor.org/nhs-healthcare-careers-virtual-work-experience/
The NHS Virtual Allied Healthcare Work Experience offers a unique opportunity for aspiring healthcare professionals. It’s a rare occasion for students to hear from our exceptional guest speaker, Melanie Dalby, a pharmacist specialising in haematology and clinical academic research lead for pharmacy at King’s College Hospital.
Melanie will provide invaluable guidance to help these future professionals embark on their dream healthcare careers. Following Melanie’s talk, students will gain an intimate look at the healthcare industry in the LIVE virtual work experience, delving into diverse roles within allied healthcare and taking a closer look at patient care by following the journeys of two patients from incident through to treatment.
