NUH Career Profession Specific Videos
To support and improve on our virtual offer in 2021, we are pleased to announce that we are rapidly growing our bank of video resources; with the development of individual professional group videos (e.g. Healthcare Scientists). These videos will articulate the many different types of roles available at Nottingham University Hospitals and within other health and social care organisations, along with the many different entry routes into the organisation.
The videos are colour coded to represent each different professional group e.g. Orange will be used to represent Allied Health Professionals. The videos cover an array of roles such a Cardiac Physiologist, Pharmacist, General Practitioner (GP), Administrator, Nurse, Dietician and many more!
Dotted around within each storyboard you will see that each video will either have a grey, blue or purple frame. This is so that you can easily identify the entry route this person has taken i.e. Apprenticeships, Graduate Management Training Scheme or the usual academic routes. Please use the below key to help you identify which entry route each person has taken.
