Schoolgirl wins NHS careers competition
A schoolgirl from Derbyshire has won an annual contest aimed at promoting what jobs are available in the NHS.
Tanvir Tamber, aged 14, won the Step into the NHS secondary school contest highlighting the more than 350 careers that are available within the NHS.
Tanvir, from Derby Moor Spencer Academy, made a poster and video highlighting the role of an accident and emergency doctor.
Tanvir said: "The highlight was discovering the amount of insight needed and the range of conditions you have to be able to deal with, enabling you to discover your eventual specialism.”
Scott Doyle, principal of Derby Moor Spencer Academy, said: “I think the competition provides an invaluable opportunity to explore the vast range of career opportunities available within the NHS, or indeed any large institution.
“It has been an enlightening experience for our pupils.”
Dr Navina Evans, chief workforce, training and education officer at NHS England, said: “I absolutely loved Tanvir’s creativity and obvious passion. Her project was just brilliant.
“Especially in this 75th anniversary year for the NHS, it’s great to see so much interest – and inspiration – out there for careers within the health service.
“Congratulations to Tanvir, and a huge thank you to everyone who took part.”
