Become a healthcare science Ambassador

NHS healthcare science ambassadors help to:

• run science and engineering clubs
• provide careers guidance and mentoring to interested students
• facilitate NHS work based placements for both teachers and students

As an ambassador you would give as little as half a day a year to help promote healthcare science as a profession, while also sharing your enthusiasm about a science career in the NHS. It is not a big time commitment but it can make a big difference in your area, particularly to young people in schools and colleges. You could get involved in:

• mentoring and careers talks
• science festivals and fairs
• community and youth groups
• STEM club activities

You will also benefit by increasing your confidence in your presentation skills, and gaining a sense of achievement and satisfaction with the work you are doing.
