NHS Allied Healthcare Virtual Work Experience

One of the biggest challenges students face is understanding what healthcare professions actually involve beyond university course descriptions. Admissions tutors are increasingly looking for applicants who can demonstrate genuine insight into healthcare careers, multidisciplinary working, and patient-centred care.

Our next NHS Allied Healthcare Virtual Work Experience session takes place on Sunday 5th July and focuses on Pain Management and Mental Health, providing students with a valuable opportunity to explore how healthcare professionals support patients living with complex physical and psychological conditions.
