Work experience is an essential part of Medicine applications so it's crucial they understand every aspect of it.

Admission: Free
If students cannot make this time, the webinar will be available to watch on-demand on our YouTube channel the following day:
NHS virtual work experience days
NHS next virtual work experience day on the 7th November 2021 is for students who are interested in the following careers:
- Nursing
- Midwifery
- Paramedicine
- Physiotherapy
- Occupational Therapy
- Dietetics
- Radiography
- Prosthetics and Orthotics

Applications for this programme are now open, and they will be open throughout this academic year, with the next virtual work experience day taking place on the 7th November.
During the work experience day, students will follow 2 patients from their initial presentation to recovery. Students will observe the healthcare professionals as they interact with the patients and each other. Students will have an opportunity to ask questions and gain knowledge through teaching.
This will help students to make an informed career decision as well as learn about how healthcare professionals work together as part of a multidisciplinary team. Each work experience day is completely different, and students will be able to build on their knowledge of NHS careers as they see different patient cases and healthcare professionals work in a variety of settings, such as hospital and community.
Students will also receive certificates as evidence of having participated in the work experience programme. Those that complete the entire 6-month programme will be awarded with Highly Commended References too. Students can register individually through the website link below. Places are £10 a day to cover administrative costs and run the tech on the day.

As The Future Leaders Project is about celebrating different types of leaders and diverse talents, students are asked to submit a pitch video telling us about themselves and their leadership story.
It can be about them demonstrating self-leadership (e.g., leading themselves out of a challenging situation) or leading others (e.g. their peers, school, community or society).
The top 50 students will be selected as ‘ones to watch’ and invited to participate in the final, a day-long virtual workshop on 19th January 2022 that seeks to assess and develop them.
Plus there are prizes to tempt even the more reluctant students, including work experience, mentoring and career support, financial investment and access to the Ivy House coaches and alumni network - and we’ve a few things up our sleeves for your school, too.
To help students prepare we’re also running two free events:
