With Life & Health Sciences Week beginning today, make sure you’re aware of the online resources at your disposal to help you learn more about careers in this sector.

The team behind Life & Health Sciences week is highlighting Health Careers as a superb new resource that you should absolutely check out:

Health Careers is a new website which provides information about roles in all areas of healthcare including medicine, dentistry, the allied health professions, mental health and public health.  As well as detailed information about the wide variety of roles within health, the site also provides career planning tools, role comparisons and case study videos.  This is a fantastic resource for anyone considering a career in health.

Make sure you’re also familiar with the ‘Prospects’ Careers Website, for an extensive list of occupational profiles, includes day to day job information, entry requirements and long term career prospects / pathways.
