We are a health simulation centre at Buckinghamshire College Group's Aylesbury Campus, developed in partnership with NHS Health Education England.

We provide young people and adults a practical insight into the 350+ careers available in the NHS and the Health & Social Care sector, along with the opportunity to experience real healthcare scenarios alongside professionals.

We can offer sessions both at our base in Aylesbury and mobile sessions across the Thames Valley and Oxfordshire areas. HealthTec provides immersive and inspirational learning experiences which will:

  • Offer young people the chance to meet and work alongside clinical and non-clinical staff.
  • Empower students to make informed, healthy lifestyle choices.
  • Provide experiences which follow patient pathways and increase skill levels in basic first aid (including resuscitation, AED and unconscious casualty).
  • Raise awareness of the wide variety of careers with the NHS and social care, with emphasis on roles identified in the local area as priorities for recruitment.
  • Raise awareness of different educational pathways, including apprenticeships and higher education.

 

 

Since we began operating, HealthTec has engaged with over 20,000 school aged students across the Thames Valley area and has been visited by over 90 schools (many of them becoming regular visitors). 

Attendance at HealthTec Thames Valley will help your school demonstrate engagement with employers, meet statutory careers guidance requirements, as well as meeting PSHCE and personal well-being needs. Therefore, one visit to HealthTec can help your school achieve 4 Gatsby benchmarks. The activities and experiences offered at HealthTec Thames Valley can be linked to all areas of the curriculum and can assist schools in meeting assessment requirements in subjects as diverse as Geography, English, Maths, IT as well as Health and Social Care and Science.

This summer, we will be working in partnership with the Royal College of Nursing to provide The RCN Prince of Wales Nursing Cadet Scheme. The scheme allows young people to gain an understanding of the rich potential a career in nursing can provide.

Open to people aged 16-25, the programme will provide real, local clinical surveillance and experience in areas such as manual handling, infection control, communications, leadership and team working; as well as support for finding future employment in healthcare industries.
