The experience includes a guided tour of Wycombe Hospital’s specialist departments, showcasing how curriculum subjects connect to modern healthcare practice. Areas explored may include radiology, the cardiac catheterisation lab, clinical research, and cellular pathology. Teachers will gain practical insights to motivate students and deepen their understanding of NHS career pathways.
