The Keith Bradshaw Introduction to Healthcare programme is designed to increase students' awareness of the various careers within the healthcare sector. Working with students in Years 8, 9 and 10 from schools within the West Midlands, the programme aims to educate young people about opportunities within healthcare and the importance of achieving the right GCSE grades in order to pursue them.
Students will take part in interactive science sessions both on campus and in school delivered by Aston University staff, Aston University students and healthcare professionals from across the region. Students will get an insight into science in the real world, the variety of careers within the NHS and develop an understanding of the importance of their GCSEs when making their future choices.
