Working in Health Access Network
WHAN activities for School students
Our activities are based on the path school pupils follow to eventual careers. Many health careers require some knowledge of science and so our activities in S1 and S2 show pupils how useful science is in the workplace. Pupils in S3 and S4 are invited to information sessions which demonstrate the wide variety of health careers. Senior pupils are invited to events which offer information within particular health sectors such as dentistry or mental health.
The range of activities we offer is constantly growing but here is a list of what we currently offer. For upcoming events please click here.
