Live virtual work experience programme for budding doctors
In October 2020, UHB held the first virtual, real-time, live, free work experience programme, aimed at school years 10 to 13. The event attracted more than 3,900 students.
In collaboration with Medic Mentors and UHB Simulation Centre, this informative, immersive programme followed a patient’s journey and the role of the multidisciplinary team, with Q&A sessions with real doctors.
Some quotes from students who attended:

"An amazing experience! Gives me a drive to work harder for a future in medicine" - Programme student
"I never thought it would be this informative. Thank you for this amazing opportunity!" - Programme student
