A powerpoint which gives advice to aspiring medics (doctors, surgeons or GPs) and students planning to apply to medical school. It covers the Medical Schools Council (MSC) advice on what work experience a student should complete. It also includes the NHS Constitution, the Core Values and Attributes the MSC expects students to be able to evidence and advice from the Hull York Medical School. Finally, it includes some tips on where you could get work experience with some specific examples (aimed at students in York and surrounding areas).

A worksheet which on one sides gives an overview of the NHS Constitution and the values that all NHS employees must follow. On the reverse, students use the York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Values (Kindness, Openness, Excellence) to analyse their work experience so far to find examples of where they have met values. The aim is that students can then use these identified examples for personal statements and interviews. They can also use the analysis to find gaps in their work experience to provide some guidance of what they need to do before they begin their applications.

An activity to encourage aspiring medics to research into the wide variety of medical specialties/hospital departments there are. Aimed at students study A-Levels and interested in applying for medicine at university. Students are given a list of medical specialties (e.g. renal, ophthalmology, hepatology) and have to research what the specialty/team do. E.g: Renal - kidneys, e.g. dialysis; ophthalmology - eyes, e.g. cataracts, surgery, trauma…)

A whole class activity where students have a ‘domino’ each. One one hald is a role, on the other half is a definition. They do not match. Students read out the role printed on their domino and have to match it with another student who has the definition on theirs, and so on.

An activity where students match 15 roles in the NHS to their definitions by putting the correct number in the box.

An activity where students match 15 roles in the NHS to their definitions by writing the correct number in the box next to it. At the bottom of the sheet there is a challenge activity where students are given 5 lesser-known roles in the NHS and have to match to the definition by drawing a line.

An activity where students match 15 roles in the NHS to their definition by drawing a line between the two. This version is aimed at less able students, with simplified language and roles/definitions grouped into 3 groups of 5.

An activity where students match roles in the NHS to their definitions by writing the correct number in the box. This version is aimed at more able students.

An activity where students match 30 roles in the NHS to their definitions. This version is simplified with language which is more accessible.

A resource which introduces 30 roles in the NHS and their definitions. Students work in 5 teams to match the role with it’s definition. Each team matches 6 different roles and definitions, so across the class all 30 roles are covered.

Produced by our Information Governance team, the cards give 9 statements (5 true, 4 false) about how hospitals can use patient data. When printed, the correct statements have ‘true’ on the back, and false statements have ‘false’ on the back with a brief explanation.
