The NHS at Skills London 2016

Skills London is London’s largest annual career event, attracting more than 30,000 young people and their families.

For the third year in a row, Health Education England is proud to lead the NHS presence at this important event. This is a valuable opportunity for young people to learn about possible career options, and we are excited to promote the NHS as a great choice.

We are working in partnership with the following NHS organisations who will provide a wide range of fun, interactive and educational activities for attendees:

• London Healthcare Science Trainee Network
• South East Coast Ambulance
• London Ambulance Service
• Guy’s & St Thomas’ Simulation & Interactive Learning Centre
• King’s College London

Students will be able to learn CPR and emergency response care, explore the workings of a full size simulated ambulance, discover what it’s like to be visually and mobile impaired, practice keyhole surgery and see demonstrations of state-of-the-art medical equipment. HEE careers advisors and apprentice leads will be on hand to discuss various options for starting a career in the NHS.

Please visit us if you have a chance, and recommend attendance at the show to any families or young people you know. The show is Friday and Saturday 9-10 December 2016 at the ExCel centre in London. We will be tweeting live from the event using the hashtag #skillslondon2016.
