Anthony Gell Industry Day - 11th of February 2025
This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming pupils from Year 9 from Anthony Gell school for an engaging and informative careers event, hosted by colleagues in the Education Centre. The event aimed to provide students with a glimpse into the various career opportunities available within the healthcare sector and to inspire the next generation of healthcare professionals.
The day began with a warm welcome from Liz Claridge, Staff Development and Apprenticeship Lead.
Students then participated in a series of interactive activities, rotating every 20 minutes to explore different healthcare professions. These activities included sessions on Midwifery, Resuscitation, Nursing, Theatres and Allied Health Professions. The students also had the opportunity to revisit any stall to ask further questions.
After a well-deserved lunch break and a talk on apprenticeships, the pupils embarked on a comprehensive tour of our hospital. The day concluded with an evaluation and closing remarks, leaving the students with a wealth of knowledge and inspiration.

On 26 February 2024, the Education Centre welcomed a visit from year nine students and teachers from Anthony Gell School, Wirksworth,.
This is the second time that the school have visited Chesterfield Royal Hospital for an employer engagement event.
The visit is designed to further the interests that students may be considering for future employment. The school have been focussing on developing the employability skills of their students and to broaden their students horizons and expose them to employment opportunities that are available in the NHS as well as other regional employers.
Katy Lowe, Assistant Headteacher, added:"I just wanted to pass on a huge thanks to you and the team at Chesterfield Royal Hospital for supporting our Employer Day visit for our Year 9 cohort.
"We have been focussing on developing the employability skills of our students and we also want to broaden their horizons and expose them to the vast array of employment opportunities that are available in our local labour market. The students had a great time learning from the professionals that you took the time to arrange to come along. The students also enjoyed the tour of the hospital. It was easy to see the effort that had been put in to ensuring the day was engaging and well planned.
"We can only offer these opportunities to our students due to the good will of our partners so on behalf of the students and staff please accept our sincere thanks."
