The Health Care Sector does not just include the NHS. It also includes private practice, local health and social care partnerships, alternative therapies and biomedical and life sciences companies.
The Health Care Sector is not just about medical skills. Having strong IT and digital skills, or a science background are also very important.
There are lots of ways of getting into a career in healthcare, either through going to College or University, doing an apprenticeship or starting work straight from school
