Widening Access to Careers in Community Healthcare

The Undergraduate Primary Care Education team has kicked off an exciting new work experience programme called WATCCH – Widening Access to Careers in Community Healthcare. WATCCH aims to open up work experience opportunities in the healthcare sector by offering placements for sixth form pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds to shadow various allied healthcare professionals in GP practices.

Pupils will attend a pre-placement induction at Charing Cross campus, and will then have a 3-day work experience session at a GP practice where they will observe a variety of allied healthcare professionals in the community, e.g. health visitors, phlebotomists, nurses and physiotherapists.
