THERE are more than 300 different careers and jobs in the NHS ranging from catering and computing to driving and dentistry and the NHS job shop event will soon be coming to a town near you.

The annual initiative is a chance for anyone who wants to find out about joining the team and making a difference to get a real insight into what's involved in hundreds of different careers in today's NHS.

Visitors will be able to meet and talk with current staff from many different areas of the NHS, from nursing and midwifery, radiography and other allied health professionals to the world of science in health.

A database of all the events can be found on www.nhscareers.nhs.uk/jobshops or call the NHS careers response line on 0845 60 60 655.
