The event will take place on Friday, May 26, 2023, at Doncaster Royal Infirmary, featuring 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.
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.”
