Healthcare science week

How can you get involved?

Healthcare Science Week is a fantastic opportunity to showcase to the local community and fellow health professionals how science and technology are at the heart of modern patient care, transforming lives every day. It also provides a powerful platform for healthcare science staff to inspire the next generation by highlighting exciting career pathways within healthcare science to students in local schools and colleges.

Getting involved in Healthcare Science Week is simple and rewarding, with many ways to take part. Your trust could host an eye-catching stand in a public area or hospital foyer, deliver an engaging presentation at a school or college, or welcome students behind the scenes into one of your healthcare science departments.
