Health professionals at Bassetlaw Hospital invite local people to come along and find out about careers in health

Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals (DBTH) will host its next ‘Your Future in Healthcare’ in a fortnight, with local students, learners and those considering a career change encouraged to attend.

The event will take place on Friday 23 June 2023 at Bassetlaw Hospital and will feature informative sessions led by health professionals from DBTH, local colleges, and universities.

The event aims to provide a platform for individuals aspiring to become nurses, midwives, or other clinical role by offering detailed information on how to enter a variety of professions.

Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with clinicians, representatives from local educational institutions, and professionals from DBTH, gaining valuable insights into available vacancies, courses, and qualifications required to pursue a rewarding career in health and social care.

A similar event was held in May at Doncaster Royal Infirmary, with over 160 attendees taking part.

Dr Sam Debbage, Director of Education and Research at DBTH, said: “I would encourage any individual interested in pursuing a role in healthcare to attend this event. As an anchor institution, we depend on local people training and developing into those crucial NHS roles we require to deliver high quality care. The ‘Your Future in Healthcare’ event provides an excellent opportunity to find out more – understand what qualifications are required, and what kind of career you can expect to have with us in the NHS.”

Throughout the day, a range of informative sessions will be held to provide attendees with comprehensive knowledge about pursuing a career in healthcare. There will be interactive and educational stands where you can meet representatives from a range of nursing, midwifery and allied health professions. Colleagues will be available to talk about opportunities within the Trust, how to gain work experience, and any support available.

Sheffield Hallam University, The University of Sheffield, BPP University and North Notts College will all be on hand to discuss routes into health and care including apprenticeships and a range of professional pathways.

The sessions will be held throughout the day starting at 12 noon and ending at 7pm, with each session lasting approximately an hour.
