This week (6-15th March) marks both Healthcare Science Week and British Science Week across the UK, with Sheffield Teaching Hopsitals doing a range of activities to raise awareness.
There are nearly 1000 Healthcare Science staff in Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, from apprentice to consultant level working both with patients behind the scenes in an amazing 48 specialist areas.
National Healthcare Science Week, run by the office of the Chief Scientific Officer, is an annual celebration and opportunity to raise awareness of the many diverse and interesting careers in healthcare science and inspire the scientific workforce of the future.
It is a great opportunity to bring together the diverse professions and showcase the vital role they play in patient care, diagnosis and treatment to the public. This toolkit aims to help you plan and develop effective celebratory events across your trust, region and local community to make the most of Healthcare Science Week.
