Guys and St Thomas’s Careers in Healthcare Day
Ten lucky applied science and biology students attended the Guys and St Thomas’s Careers in Healthcare day this July. The day was incredible, meeting professionals from all over the NHS and learnt that there is so much to do in the NHS without having to go to medical school. We learnt about careers that we had not even heard about and were inspired by the enthusiasm we were shown by speakers in these jobs. As well as talks there were many practical activities, we learnt how to intubate a patient, we used the robots and VR headsets which staff use to train and practice medical simulations, we even had a go at keyhole surgery – on sugar cubes! Mrs Mazewski and Mr Tompros were so impressed and proud to take our students who really impressed everyone they met.
