Students at Christleton High School gain insight into the working world from Young Chamber sponsors, Nuffield Health

Business professionals from Nuffield Health recently delivered career talks to pupils at Christleton High School as part of West Cheshire & North Wales Chamber of Commerce’s Young Chamber Programme.

The talks were delivered to Year 9 students who have chosen to study Health & Social Care as a GCSE subject.

The students first heard from Nuffield Health Physio Manager, Kirsty Chalmers, who provided an overview of what Nuffield Health is and the services it provides before delivering some insight into the role of a Physio. This included what they do in their day-to-day role, why people choose to become a physio, and skills needed for the role, including confidence, patience, problem-solving, and also an overview of the qualifications required. Kirsty also gave the students an insight into her career journey to becoming a Physio Manager, and highlighted the different routes that can be taken to becoming a qualified Physio.

Kirsty was joined by a Psychologist from Nuffield Health who gave the students an insight into her role which focuses on preventing diseases, and injuries, rather than curing them, along with some advice on how to keep the body in good working order.

Events & Young Chamber Manager at the WCNW Chamber, Jenny Davidson, commented following the event: “It was fantastic to hear from Nuffield Health at Christleton High School. Thank you to the speakers for delivering fantastic presentations to the future Health & Social Care students. The students were engaged and I’m sure the knowledge that they gained will be extremely useful during their studies, and throughout their journey into the working world.”
