Where did you do your work experience?
Sandbach
What did you do?
I worked with the health visitors for my town during my work experience. I helped do developmental checks on babies aged 6-8 weeks and 7-9 months, as well as toddlers.
What did you enjoy most?
I enjoyed the baby development checks and home visits the most!
What did you learn?
I learnt a lot about what children should be doing at a certain age, such as when they should be putting sentences together or when they need to be able to sit up unsupported.
I also learnt about different disorders and the disabilities babies and children can have within the first five years of their lives.
Do you have any advice for other people?
I advise people to do as much work experience as possible within the NHS. I am looking to go to Alder Hey in October for another week of work experience as I enjoy learning new things and skills.
It's also a great opportunity to see what the real world is like beyond school!
