DISCOVER CAREERS IN HEALTH

November 24, 2017

LIVING LAB, UNIVERSITY OF SUNDERLAND

On Wednesday 22nd November 15 of our Yr 9 pupils attended the “Discover Careers in Health” event. The event took place at the newly opened Living Lab at University of Sunderland which is home to the most advanced healthcare-industry simulation equipment, with interactive spaces and realistic settings.

The purpose of the event was to allow students to explore the variety of career paths available within the health sector through a series of both simulated and interactive patient scenarios designed to highlight occupational areas. The boys followed a patient’s road to recovery, discovering who, when and how practitioners are integral to their recovery. We were able to work with professionals from a range of specialisms across the NHS including Nurses, Doctors, Occupational Therapists, Physio Therapists, dieticians, pharmacists and many more.
