“The wide variety of career options and the opportunity to talk to so many different representatives from the NHS will give our students an excellent opportunity to understand what is involved in those roles, whilst discovering about the different routes onto these jobs.

“It is encouraging to know that students with a range of different qualifications are able to access these opportunities within the hospital.”
