These forty-five minute sessions will give current pupils and recent leavers the chance to hear from, and question, a panel of experts who can offer a broad, and in depth, understanding of the featured profession. The panel will be drawn from our community, including alumni and current parents all at different stages of their careers.
These sessions are open to all students from LV to UVI, as well as to all parents and alumni. They will be of particular interest to current students who are considering their future careers, as well as undergraduates or those thinking of changing direction.
Seminars will take place live on Microsoft Teams, the link to join is above. Questions can be asked via the chat function during the session on MS Teams.
All seminars will be live from 7.00 – 7.45. A recording will also be available afterwards on the media server and Solihull Community.
The Careers and Alumni Relations Departments at Solihull work closely together to support our students and alumni. We are pleased to offer this series of seminars, which will sit alongside our programme of remote Careers and UCAS provision, and we are grateful to all from our Solihull Community who will enable these to take place.
We do hope that you are able to join us for these seminars.
With good wishes

Careers Seminar : Allied Healthcare Professionals
Welcome to the seminar featuring Allied Healthcare Professionals. This group make up the third largest clinical workforce in the NHS. There are 15 different roles working across a range of sectors from emergency response and diagnosis to mental and physical rehabilitation.
Their work focuses on improving the health and wellbeing of their patients so that they can live full and active lives within their family circles, social networks and workplace. They can be hospital-based, work within the community or from patients’ homes, privately or even, for some, in the context of the armed service. During the seminar we are going to cover three of those 15 roles as we’re joined by a Dietician, two physiotherapists and an occupational therapist.
