The Pack Development Group

The Pack Development Group formed comprising;

The group shared an aim of trying to bring together some of the most useful resources. As the requirements of the end-user (identified as Teachers, Careers Advisers and NHS Recruitment and Retention Employees) were of prime importance, evaluation sessions were held during the development of the original CD and pack to ensure that its content met the demand.

Due to the success of the CD and pack, this has now been placed online within this website.

As can be seen from the list of acknowledgements, without the co-operation of others, this pack and website could not have been produced. The contributions from such a wide variety of persons has enabled the coverage of a variety of topics which it is hoped will be useful in relation to advising others about health-related careers opportunities and supporting relevant areas of the school curriculum.

Thank you to those listed in the acknowledgements and others who provided support and guidance.
