Aimed at Year 9 students, the competition encourages students to think about the 51 career opportunities for scientists in the NHS and help them to develop job seeking skills and make informed decisions about important GCSE or Diploma choices.
Students are challenged to select one of 51 science careers available with the NHS and, working individually or in teams of up to four, create a job description, a job advert and a CV of the perfect candidate. Alternatively they can produce a short film interviewing a Healthcare Scientist.
The first 50 schools to register are guaranteed the support of an NHS Healthcare Science Ambassador for their school entries and to develop links for future careers’ events.
The deadline is March 31st 2010. Schools need to register at diagnoseit@dh.gsi.gov.uk. They will then be sent a resources pack and be matched with a Healthcare Science Ambassador
