Let’s CHat: Careers in Healthcare is part of a series of industry networking events for Old Waconians and current pupils.

Are you considering a career in healthcare? Or are you unsure of what you'd like to do but interested in finding out more about the variety of roles that you might find in a healthcare setting? 

Join us at The Christie Education Centre to hear from healthcare professionals working in both clinical and non-clinical roles during a panel discussion chaired by Old Waconian Molly Pipping (Class of 2015). Afterwards, take the opportunity to develop your networking skills and chat informally with those working in the industry, while enjoying light refreshments.

Who should register?

This event aims to support early career Old Waconians and pupils (Years 10-13) with their career planning. Old Waconians and parents of CHS pupils who are more established in their careers in healthcare are invited to attend and share their experiences.
