If you want a future in the NHS—but not as a doctor—this is your opportunity. Step inside real clinical environments, learn from professionals and discover the careers that keep the NHS moving.

This 5 day, 4 night Gold Award residential is your fast-tracked introduction to the world of nursing, midwifery, allied health professions, healthcare sciences and pharmacy. It’s designed for people who want to make a difference, lead patient care and build a meaningful, respected NHS career.

If your ambition is medicine, head to our Introduction to Medicine programme instead.

You won’t just learn about clinical careers. You’ll live them.
