Guests from the ‘Medical Mavericks’ Team, led workshops linked to careers in the health service, enabling students to learn about a wide area of the careers available to them.

The Key Stage 4 and 5 students enjoyed taking part in various hands-on activities including recording using ultrasound equipment, carrying out their own ECG tests and experiencing what it would be like to perform keyhole surgery using a training device used by real surgeons.

“It was very fun, it taught me a lot about careers in the medical profession and helped me learn about the equipment that is frequently used. I also learned about different types of eye diseases and how to stay healthy.”
