SEEDA, the South East England Development Agency has funded the construction of VIEW Healthcare Science based on Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge. A single user copy of the VIEW application will be provided free to schools in the south-east and east of England.
The role of the Healthcare Scientist is not well publicised and many young people will be unaware of the range of jobs that the scientists perform in a large modern hospital.
Addenbrooke's Hospital is a major employer in the Cambridge area, and of national and international significance as a leading research and teaching hospital. Providing young people with a view of this large organisation at work is challenging for logistical, health and safety, and confidentiality reasons. The hospital offers a wide range of attractive career pathways for many young people in the local area and beyond. For Addenbrooke's and other hospitals, providing access to their working environments is key to attracting the people and skills they will need in the future.
Addenbrooke's Hospital has identified 22 different departments where technicians, scientists and managers are working in healthcare science. Through; 100+ rotary images, hundreds of single images, many documents and several video extracts, a young person can explore the varied working environment of a healthcare scientist. In addition, more than 50 employees answer over 1,300 questions through interviews that a young person can listen to and learn from.
The resource could be used to support Work Related Learning at Key Stage 4 and beyond, Careers Education, Applied GCSE Science and as a contrasting workplace to those engaged for real work experience.
