37 A-Level students complete summer placements at GHA

37 A-Level students have completed summer placements in the Health Authority.

The Government says the annual programme aims to encourage young people locally to consider careers in the health sector.

Students from Bayside, Westside, the College, and Prior Park all received their certificates in a ceremony in the St Bernard's Hospital garden.

They each spent two weeks gaining real-world experience in a range of clinical settings.

The Minister for Health said, in Gibraltar, your schoolmates of today could well be your colleagues of tomorrow.

The hope is that many of these 37 young people will go on to become the doctors, nurses and allied health professionals of the GHA in future.
