Christ College Brecon – Marvellous Medical Mavericks

22 Aug 2018

Alway and Year 9 pupils were this week treated to a range of fascinating interactive sessions as part of a showcase of medical careers. Medical Maverick workshops inspire students to make informed decisions about their career & lifestyle choices.

Sessions included:

– Use the ultrasound machine to see inside their body and measure the size of their blood vessels

– See inside their eye with an iPhone retina scan

– Record and print an ECG from their heart

– Hear their pulse with a Doppler Probe!

– Try key hole surgery on a training device used by surgeons

– Use a real needle to take fake blood from an fake arm

– Experience different eye diseases with the pathology goggles

– Test hearing and reflexes

– Take basic medical observation such as blood pressure, oxygen sats and temp

– Suturing fake skin

– Recording respiration rates

A fantastic workshop showing our pupils the amazing opportunities and jobs that could be available to them.

Thank you Medical Mavericks, lots to think about!
