Back to School Scheme
This novel and exciting venture, organised by anaesthetic trainees, involves various healthcare professionals visiting local secondary schools. This interactive scheme encourages 11-18 yr olds to appreciate how principles learned in the science classroom are important in the hospital workplace. In addition the scheme assists the University Hospital Bristol and North Bristol Trust’s aim to engage the local community and promote jobs in healthcare as possible career opportunities for aspiring schoolchildren.
