The Allied Health Professionals (AHP) mixed reality work experience program for the Armed Forces community will cover all 14 AHP professions over a one year period - it started with Occupational Therapy on 17th April.
We are partnering with higher education institutes based around England and specifically near to military establishments. The idea is to attract Armed Forces leavers, Veterans and Armed forces families into AHP careers with their aligned values and the transferable skill elements.
Interested people will attend monthly webinars to receive some online content.
There will then be a live stream from the profession in focus from Guys and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust using a head mounted lens (camera) of the AHP treating and going about their day (with all consent and permissions in place ahead of filming)
And will be followed by a live Q and A, and session with some people who have transitioned from the Armed Forces into the given profession and with the relevant professional body.
If you are interested, please register now! To do so, email: armedforces@gstt.nhs.uk
See this Fact Sheet for links to lots of information that is already available about AHPs for the Armed Forces community.
The next webinars coming up are for Diagnostic Radiography on 2nd July, and Therapeutic Radiography on 3rd July.
