An invitation has been extended to students in years 11-14 for Allied Health Mentor’s upcoming session on Sunday 6th October, 8:30am – 5pm, focusing on Communications & Fractures.
The NHS Virtual Allied Healthcare Work Experience offers a unique opportunity for aspiring healthcare professionals. It’s a rare occasion for students to hear from our exceptional guest speaker, Lucie Rochfort, a seasoned Speech and Language Therapist, with a wealth of knowledge and insights to share.
Lucie will provide invaluable guidance to help these future professionals embark on their dream healthcare careers. Following Lucie’s talk, students will gain an intimate look at the healthcare industry in the LIVE virtual work experience, delving into diverse roles within allied healthcare and taking a closer look at patient care by following the journeys of two patients from incident through to treatment.
The NHS Allied Healthcare Work Experience is the largest programme for aspiring healthcare professionals, having successfully invited over 12,000 students to participate in its programme last academic year – many of which have gone on to study:
Nursing
Midwifery
Paramedicine
Physiotherapy
Occupational Therapy

Radiography
Prosthetics and Orthotics
Speech and Language Therapy
Pharmacy
