Volunteers needed Volunteers are needed at a Fundraising collection on Saturday 8th July at Leyland, Morrisons. YEAR 12 TASTER DAY They are fundraising to help raise vital funds for support services provided by Age Concern Central Lancashire. Various time slots are available between 10:00am – 4:00pm and they are looking for volunteers if possible to help out for an hour or two on the day. FRIDAY 14 th JULY 10:00 – 16:00 ARE YOU STUDYING SCIENCE, MATHS OR PSYCHOLOGY A-LEVELS AND CONSIDERING YOUR CAREER OPTIONS? THEN COMING TO OUR TASTER DAY WILL REALLY BRING OUR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONS TO LIFE. A warm welcome and support will be provided on the day from Age Concern Central Lancashire staff, and further details about this fundraising volunteering opportunity will be sent prior to event date. Have you ever considered the physics and maths involved in producing an x-ray? How about the chemistry involved in blood clotting and cardiac arrest? Or, the combination of physics and psychology involved in hearing and sound recognition? Or even, what job you are going to apply your ‘A grade’ sports science A level to. Whilst all three of our practical courses involve plenty of biology, there is much more to these healthcare professions than understanding human anatomy and physiology. On our Taster Day you will get the opportunity to experience mini-lectures explaining all about audiology, cardiac physiology and radiography. You will participate in practical activities using our bespoke software, dummy patients and clinical equipment. You will even handle real bones from the 19 th century bone collection and get to view ultrasound images of your own heart. Anyone interested please see Anne in Chaplaincy. Who is the event for? Any Year 12 student studying at least one science subject (biology, chemistry, maths, physics, psychology, sports science) and is interested in practical healthcare careers.
