Healthcare Careers Conference
We’ve lined up speakers from medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing and midwifery as well as students studying these subjects in some of the best universities in the UK.
The morning will consist of lectures on how to get into and excel in these careers, while the afternoon will consist of smaller group workshops including practical sessions on personal statement writing, interview preparation and Q&As with current students.
It will be a whole day event including lunch and a goodie bag.
This conference is perfect for anyone who knows they want to study a science subject but isn’t sure which, or students who need to show evidence of commitment to their chosen course on their personal statements.
