A large NHS Trust wanted to create a sustainable future for the health and wellbeing of the communities they serve.
What they wanted:
MSE NHS Trust wanted to work with the local community to support raising of aspirations and health through an evidence-based health employability initiative that was created and is led by an NHS Innovator.
This work has included making sure local people can access rewarding careers within health and care whilst also learning more about how their local health system works.
What we delivered
Generation Medics supported creation of the Essex Anchor Programme by delivering locally-tailored programmes to reach local young people. We opened the doors of our Virtual Healthcare Academy, allowing students from the local area to learn about the 350+ careers in the NHS and the current health challenges being tackled.
Students could discuss their learning journeys on the dedicated forum, connect with current professionals and trainees from their area, as well as take part in our ground-breaking Immersive Work Experience programme, helping them see their local NHS heroes in action!
This programme also enabled current staff to connect with their communities in a different way, inspiring the next generation of healthcare professionals.
“COVID-19 has taught us all that there is great strength in partnership working. Many people have lost jobs during the pandemic. The Anchor Programme will provide an opportunity for retraining, volunteering and developing new networks of opportunity.” – Charlotte Williams, Director of Strategy
AliveCor want to give back to society and support the next generation
What they wanted:
Alivecor is supporting Generation Medics, a non-profit founded by NHS Doctors in the UK to widen access to healthcare careers and improve social mobility.
Unfortunately, healthcare careers such as Medicine lack diversity. Many doctors and healthcare professionals tend to come from a small pool. Alivecor, like Generation Medics, believes that this is to the detriment of the nation’s health, as diversity within the workplace has been proven to breed creativity and innovation.
How we helped:
Generation Medics’ mission is to promote healthcare careers to underprivileged students and ensure they are able to access reliable and relevant information to help them pursue their aspirations. This is a mission that we at Alivecor support, so we provide devices to help Generation Medics’ strong network of volunteers and expert health professionals inspire the next generation.
Through Generation Medics’ work, Alivecor (and our customers) are contributing towards the fulfilment of the Sustainability Development Goals by 2030 – the blueprint set out by the UN to achieve a better, more sustainable future for all. In particular, reducing inequality, promoting good health and wellbeing and supporting access to quality education.
Founder and Director of Generation Medics, Dr Hinnah Rafique said “Alivecor’s support directly inspires young people to consider careers within healthcare. Your devices help our team demonstrate the exciting advancements and growth of technology and innovation in healthcare. Fantastic to have your support to take cutting-edge tech into the classroom!”
