Supporting the NHS in attracting future talent

UCAS has been working with the NHS since 2019 to attract new talent to its workforce through our extensive reach among young people, their parents, teachers, and careers advisers.

Raising awareness of NHS careers on ucas.com

Every year 1.5 million young people, including those as young as Year 9, come to us for information, advice, and guidance on careers in different sectors and the routes to get there.

We have dedicated NHS careers pages on ucas.com showcasing the breadth of career options within the NHS to young people during their discovery stages. Driving this early awareness helps the NHS build a long-term talent pipeline.
