Your Future in Health
The Healthcare Careers Program gives you a genuine day exploring healthcare's many pathways, well beyond just "becoming a doctor." You'll discover how different professionals contribute to patient care, and start to see how your own strengths, interests, and personality might align with different roles.
Your Journey in Healthcare
Hosted by DecidEd Education in partnership with Nabta Health Clinic, this hands-on program gives you real insight into what it takes to become a healthcare professional, and what their day-to-day careers actually look like.
- Phase 1Meet the Patient & Registered Nurse: Starting the Case
Meet the patient at the centre of the case, then watch how a nurse carries out the first assessment and answer the real questions they'd face.
- Phase 2Diagnosis
Watch a doctor examine the case and see how imaging helps investigate it, then answer the questions each professional would face working toward a diagnosis.
- Phase 3Completing the Picture
Watch how lab results and a psychological assessment each add a piece to the puzzle, behind the scenes and beyond the physical, then answer the questions each professional would face.
- Phase 4Physical Rehabilitation
Watch how physiotherapy and occupational therapy work together to help the patient recover and return to daily life, then answer the questions each professional would face.
- Phase 5Nutrition & Going Home
Watch how nutrition supports the patient's recovery, then follow the case through to discharge and see how every professional's contribution came together in their care.
Discover what it takes to wear the white coat.
Through hands-on learning, career talks, and mentorship from healthcare professionals, you'll explore what each career really involves, what working with patients looks like in different roles, and the subjects and qualifications you'll need.
