Participate in hands-on activities around health care professions, delivered by current health undergraduates and academics in your school. Understand how science is used in healthcare roles and learn about the different career paths, from the unknown to the typical routes.
Students will be talked through the kit, the possible career choices, whilst being supported by undergraduate health students on using the equipment. Put your laparoscopy and basic life support skills to the test. Test your IV cannulation skills, take and read ECGs, participate in biomed lab work and test blood samples.
Each student will be given a workbook to complete, which will be colour coded to link careers depending on their answers.
We would require a good sized classroom or hall enough for 10-12 tables and the students attending.
The session will be delivered as a 2 hour workshop in school (max 2 sessions per day).
