Royal Papworth Hospital Work Experience

Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust offers unpaid work experience for students and young people who want to learn more about careers in healthcare. Participants can observe and work alongside healthcare professionals, gaining hands-on insight into cardiothoracic care and the wider NHS environment.

The programme is aimed at students aged 16 to 24 who are in sixth form college or further education. It is designed to help participants explore future career options, build confidence, and put classroom learning into practice while meeting professionals working in a range of clinical and non-clinical roles.

Placements may be available in areas such as administrative services, pathology, transplant, cardiology, cardiothoracic services, cardiac rehabilitation, speech and language therapy, social work, respiratory and cardio physiology, radiology, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, critical care, pharmacy, and theatres. Some areas have higher age requirements, including Radiography and Theatres.
