The Health Academy is aimed at school or college students aged 15-18 who have an interest in health care. A wide range of health care professionals are on hand to support students in gaining a greater understanding of many roles available within the NHS. The academy is an opportunity to learn about the NHS and the roles it has to offer. They offer the chance to not only meet a range of health care professionals but to gain a better understanding of what their role entails and possible routes into the varying careers.

The academy experience aims to provide individuals with both life skills and increased confidence and knowledge into a variety of health care careers. This is a programme undertaken alongside current college studies allowing students to keep up with academic work whilst spending time at our Trust learning from a variety of NHS and care staff.

Important: If you are under 18, please ensure that your application form is signed by a parent or guardian, as well as a representative from your school or college, before submitting it or it will be rejected.
