Whats It Like to Work in Health & Social Care?

Bromley Education Business Partnership links education with business and the community to support the curriculum and help young people to better understand and prepare for the world of work.

The aim of this annual work related learning conference is to support students on health and social care courses. The programme included interactive workshops delivered by a range of professionals with the aim of offering  a unique opportunity for students to access representatives from the sector and to inspire them to consider health and social care as a career opportunity in the future. 

One of the workshops which is popular every year is delivered by BMI Chelsfield Park Hospital (Working in Theatres). Students get the chance to ‘scrub up’ and practice their key-hole surgery skills. This year Tom Shrubshall, Theatre Manager, placed items such as pieces of sausage, liver and kidney inside the practice torso to make the experience more life-like which proved a big surprise to students and teachers alike!

Kirstan Goodman, teacher at Langley Park School for Girls said, “Each session enhanced my understanding and will form the basis of some talking points for many weeks to come in our lessons”.

We are extremely grateful to all our providers who volunteered to deliver workshops and presentations to support the event.  They included BMI Chelsfield Park Hospital, Bromley Healthcare, Bromley Victim Support, London Borough of Bromley Adult Social Care Team, and the Pre-School Learning Alliance.
