There has been an update to the career talks - the following sessions will all take place on 10th November with further sessions throughout November, details to follow.

The STEM career talks are starting once again this month and are open to all year groups this time, giving our students the opportunity to meet real-world professionals in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics who will talk about their work, how best to achieve the qualifications needed and about learning new skills.

The first three sessions this month will take place between 3.15pm and 4.15pm on 10th November.

Students who wish to attend the career sessions will need to collect a letter from their science teacher and return it as soon as possible.

10th November in B10: Nisreen Al Namran – dentist

Nisreen will discuss careers and courses in dentistry.

A dentist prevents and treats problems affecting the mouth and teeth, deals with injuries and corrects dental issues.

The most common role in dentistry is as a general dental practitioner (GDP). As a GDP, you'll work as a self-employed contractor providing dental care to the general public in high street practices. It is also possible to work part time in hospitals. You might provide services under the NHS, privately or both.

You'll typically lead a team of dental nurses, hygienists, therapists and technicians, and treat a range of patients, from children to the elderly.

 

We are extremely grateful to these STEM professionals who have kindly agreed to spend time away from their work in the middle of the afternoon to discuss career paths with our students.
