Primary 7 pupils from across Ayr joined us at Ayr Town Hall to discover what a future in healthcare could look like. With creativity, curiosity and fantastic questions, pupils explored careers in nursing, midwifery, allied health professions and more. In the lead-up to the event, pupils creatively expressed their aspirations through “When I grow up, I want to be…” designs on bags which they proudly brought along and filled with information on the day. Thank you to the Rotary Club of Ayr for creating such a positive and inspiring space. We hope to see some of these bright young minds join #TeamNHS in the future.
