Experience Opportunities
NHS Virtual Work Experience
The Allied Healthcare Mentor's next NHS virtual work experience session is on Sunday 6th November.

With the UCAS deadline for NHS Health Careers in January, students considering a career in healthcare need to gain as much work experience as possible. We strongly encourage all students (including those who attended October's session) to register. No two work experience days are the same.

This programme is suitable for students in years 10 - 13 who are interested in the following careers:

- Nursing

- Midwifery

- Paramedicine

- Physiotherapy

- Occupational Therapy

- Dietetics

- Radiography

- Prosthetics and Orthotics

- Speech and Language Therapy

- Pharmacy

Once they’ve registered, students will be emailed links to their virtual work experience portals.

Students are awarded a Work Experience Certificate for every session they complete. Those who complete the full 5-month programme will be awarded a Highly Commended Reference from the Presidents of Allied Healthcare Mentor. These are fantastic additions to their CVs and UCAS applications!

During the work experience day, students will follow 2 patients from their initial presentation to recovery. They will gain a unique insight into how patients interact with various healthcare professionals and what it’s like to work in an NHS multidisciplinary team.

Attendees will have the opportunity to interact with healthcare professionals throughout each day. This will empower students to make informed career decisions and demonstrate their commitment to healthcare in their UCAS applications.

Students can register individually at any time throughout the 5-month programme using the link below. We recommend booking early to gain as much out of this programme as possible. Places are £10 a session to cover administrative and technological costs.

On Wednesday 12th October from 5:00pm - 7:00pm, CIMA will be hosting an online insight event and will be bringing with them a number of senior finance professionals from global technology giants IBM, world-leading infrastructure and engineering firm Amey and Network Rail, who are the owner and manager of the vast majority of Britain’s railway network.

 

All these organisations turn over billions on an annual basis, so the professionals you’ll get to hear and learn from are responsible for the oversight of huge sums of money. 

 

But what’s most interesting about their work is then how they use their financial data to make strategic business decisions.

 

So what is a Management Accountant?

 

Officially, management accountants help businesses all over the world manage their finances. But in reality, there’s so much more to it than that. They are business leaders. Innovators. Decision makers. Forecasters. There’s no one industry or role that they work in: you’ll find management accountants in all kinds of companies, public and private, big and small.

 

Day to day, they interpret financial data, prepare reports and use business knowledge to help management make decisions. They’ll always be looking to the future and figuring out ways to improve things for the company.

 

In short – they’re pretty important.
