WATCCH provides work experience, near-peer mentoring, and a programme of workshops on a range of healthcare careers and admissions help. The work experience and first two workshops have now been completed.<\/p>\n<p>The first Imperial student-led workshop was on \u2018Reflection and Coaching\u2019 in which students engaged with mentors to reflect on their recent GP-based work experience as well as discuss their thoughts on matters such as the importance of reflection within the general\/healthcare setting. Students then delved into the world of coaching. They were introduced to reflection and coaching frameworks and went on to apply their learning and skills in smaller groups. The workshop was really interactive and enjoyable and received really positive feedback from the students.<\/p>\n<p>The second workshop was on \u2018Personal Statements and Where should I apply\u2019 where current medical students gave advice and tips on personal statement writing followed by a collaborative session reviewing personal statement drafts. The second workshop built on the first workshop where student used the reflection frameworks from the first workshop to probe further thinking regarding their personal statements in this conducive learning environment. Once again, the workshop received very positive feedback.<\/p>\n<p>Preparation is already underway for the next useful workshop \u2013 \u2018Interview Skills\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>For more about Widening Access to Careers in Community Healthcare, please see our website https:\/\/www.imperial.ac.uk\/school-public-health\/primary-care-and-public-health\/teaching\/watcch\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Dr Nikul Kotecha Widening Access to Careers in Community Healthcare (WATCCH) is a widening participation initiative aimed at Year 12 students from state schools interested in a career in healthcare.
