EDITION 4 - INSIGHT INTO DENTISTRY

In our fourth edition, we continued looking at careers within the medical field but this time had a spotlight on careers in dentistry with Sean, who works as a dental surgeon in a practice, a career to which he switched after working in engineering.

As well as providing pictures that are surely to encourage you to maintain your brushing routine, Sean gave an insight into what it takes to become a dentist, what are the different roles available within a dental practice and what are the highlights of his day to day work.

If you’re considering a career in dentistry, please do give it a watch or a listen and if you have any questions you’d like us to ask Sean, submit them here and we can pass them on! Here is the link: http://bit.ly/insightdentistryvideo

This month in our February edition of the the InSight webinar series, we stayed within the work of the health profession and turned the spotlight to look at careers in Nursing.

ABOUT THE INSIGHT SERIES

At CoachBright, we launched our InSight webinar series to help pupils to find out more about potential careers, routes and pathways into a range of fields and hear from those currently in a variety of roles across the country.

In the midst of the pandemic and a very uncertain time, we believe that it’s even more important for pupils to get well-rounded and detailed careers advice so that they can make informed decisions about their future.

While pupils aren’t able to attend careers events and visit workplaces, we aim to bring the workplace to them. We’ve embarked on a mission to cover as many careers as possible through engaging webinars with people passionate about sharing their experiences.

Our first webinar kicked-off the series in December 2020 with ‘InSight into the Civil Service’, with other instalments this year will include journalism, law, teaching, nursing, paramedicine, dentistry, tech and engineering.

EDITION 3 - INSIGHT INTO NURSING

In our third edition, we explored routes and a career in Nursing with Ash, who is currently working as a GP Practice Nurse and has worked in A&E and Oncology departments before.

Ash talked through her route into nursing from choosing to do BTECs, from choosing nursing over careers as a doctor or a paramedic whilst also joining the army reserve.

Some key questions Ash gave insight on was:

What it is like to be a nurse (even giving us a sneak peek of the equipment used!)
Her volunteering experience with St John’s Ambulance and working in a hospital
Working as a nurse throughout the global pandemic and how that has affected how busy she is on a day to day basis

If you’re considering a career in nursing, please do give it a watch or a listen and if you have any questions you’d like us to ask Ash, submit them here and we can pass them on! Here is the link: http://bit.ly/insightnursingvid
