On the 11 December, 23 lucky students had the incredible opportunity to visit Trinity Park for the ESNEFT Careers Fair. This trip provided valuable insights into potential career paths, sparking inspiration for many students as they consider their futures.
Among those attending were members of MEDSOC, alongside other students curious about pursuing careers in the NHS or exploring apprenticeship opportunities. The event offered the chance to interact with NHS professionals from a wide range of departments, including Radiology, Pathology, Orthopaedics, and even the Finance team that keeps the NHS running smoothly.
One of the highlights of the day was the interactive experiences on offer. Students could try a VR simulator to practice assessing and treating a virtual patient, providing a hands-on glimpse into healthcare scenarios. Another memorable activity was the baby simulator, which gave participants (including Mr Richardson) a unique experience of what it feels like to carry a baby in the womb.
The trip was an enormous success, leaving students inspired and better informed about the diverse opportunities available within the NHS.
