AHP Virtual Work Experience Sussex

Overview

We have joined forces with Surrey Heartlands Health and Care partnership to bring students a 2 week Allied Health Professional Virtual Work Experience programme. The programme will provide students in Year 10, 11, 12 and 13 with an overview of what a career as an allied health professional can offer. There is the opportunity to meet NHS professionals and ask them questions and learn about their day to day work. Students also learnt about different areas of the allied health professions and complete work and assignments. Upon completion, students are awarded a certificate for CVs and Personal Statements.

The programme ran from February 15th – 26th.
