What you could do
Health is something we often take for granted, but couldn't cope without.
It takes more than doctors and nurses to keep our health service running. Careers in health and science include dispensing medicines in a pharmacy, giving eye tests, testing samples in labs, researching new cures and medicines, working as a dental nurse and many more.
Apprenticeships include:
- Laboratory scientist
- Environmental health practitioner
- Optician
- Midwife
- Nurse
“I wanted hands-on experience and hoped that an apprenticeship would help me decide on a future career path. Luckily for me, this was the case – I'm now a senior physiotherapist!”
