HUGH Baird College is excited to announce the launch of its After School Healthcare Academy, specifically designed for Year 11 students with a keen interest in Health and Social Care.
The Academy is not just another classroom experience; it's an interactive, hands-on journey led by their expert team of lecturers, blending fun with real-world applications.
The Academy consists of four engaging sessions, allowing pupils to participate in practical workshops and gain a deeper understanding of healthcare practices and patient behaviours. These sessions are a stepping stone towards a career in healthcare, ideal for students who are either set on studying a Health related course once they finish school or those who are still exploring their options.
The workshops will be conducted on the College's multi million-pound Healthcare Campus in Bootle, equipped with a state of the art Simulation Suite replicating a real hospital ward. This setting provides an unparalleled experience for students to apply what they learn in a realistic healthcare environment.
Students can register for all 4 workshops or choose individual sessions that align with their interests and schedules. The sessions include:-
