THE NHS is urging students in Coventry and Warwickshire to consider a career in the NHS.
Now exams have been announced, clearing places are available and the NHS is reminding students they can join the last healthcare degree places.
This year, 33,560 people have applied for a nursing degree and 7,290 have applied to become a midwife.
Mel Coombes MBE, chief executive at Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust said: “It’s fantastic to see so many young people making the decision to pursue a career in the NHS.
“As a learning disability nurse myself, I know that nursing is one of the most rewarding and diverse careers, with over 50 different jobs and specialities that students can look into while studying and after graduating.
“For those who are still deciding on their next steps or perhaps rethinking their original choices, I would urge you to consider applying for a nursing or allied health professionals course through UCAS clearing, and to search NHS careers to find out more.”
UCAS clearing is now open and prospective students will be able to apply for courses until October, 21.
Entry requirements for nursing and midwifery degree courses will vary, but students are advised they will likely need at least two A Levels or equivalent.
