The Young People’s Academy - Shrewsbury

We have condensed the content of the People’s Academy into a one day course aimed specifically at young people aged between 14 and 25.

The Young People’s Academy is a one day session, and includes a session on the NHS, a behind the scenes tour (to one of six departments, clinical and non-clinical), food tasting (lunch is also provided), a session on routes in NHS careers with our Apprenticeship and Work experience leads, Transforming Care and a skills session.

At the end of a Young People’s Academy course attendees have:

• a greater understanding of how the NHS works;
• a broader knowledge of their local hospital;
• increased awareness of how they can build their experience to improve their career options and the opportunities within our hospitals to support this;
• improved understanding of how they can help improve our services by volunteering with us or taking part in our involvement opportunities.
• evidence for CV and UCAS applications

Everyone completing our Academies receives a certificate of attendance and a pin badge.

The sessions are offered on the following dates:

Wednesday 19 February, 8.30am – 5pm, Seminar 1, SECC, Royal Shrewsbury Hospital

Monday 20 July, 8.30am – 5pm, Seminar 1, SECC, Royal Shrewsbury Hospital

Thursday 15 October, 8.30am – 5pm, Seminar 1, SECC, Royal Shrewsbury Hospital
