NHS organisations in Coventry and Warwickshire showcase nursing opportunities at online events
NHS organisations in Coventry and Warwickshire are inviting nurses, nursing associates, and former nurses far and wide to explore the career and development opportunities the area has to offer in a series of tailored online events.
The events will take place during National Careers Week (03 – 08 March) and celebrate the incredible career and development opportunities open to nurses across all nursing specialisms and services, from acute physical health, to community, learning disability and autism, mental health, general practice and more.
This is the next stage in the Your Nursing Career Here campaign, which launched in 2024 and showcases Coventry and Warwickshire as a place where nurses can learn, develop, and thrive, with unlimited opportunities across organisations for nursing careers.
Four events will take place throughout the week, highlighting all that Coventry and Warwickshire has to offer, wherever people are in their nursing career.
Early careers support for nurses and nursing associates - 5 March, 13:30 - 15:00
This tailored event is for third year student nurses and second year nursing associate students, and nurses and nursing associates who have been qualified for up to 5 years. The session will be packed with information about preceptorship, development opportunities, wellbeing support and insights from nurses working in the NHS.
Nurses: find your mid-career momentum - 6 March, 13:00 - 14:30
This event is for registered nurses with 5 to 15 years’ experience to explore development opportunities in the NHS across the area. Attendees will hear first-hand from nurse speakers about their development journeys, how they have continued their mid-career momentum, and how other people can too.
Thriving in the next chapter: late career success for nurses - 4 March, 10:00 - 11:30
Experienced nurses bring immense value and skill to the NHS and to its patients. Nurses should be able to excel in their careers at any point, including the approach to, and beyond retirement. As well as practical tools and guidance to help nurses plan their career up until retirement, attendees will hear from nurses who are using their decades of experience in new ways or are thriving after returning from retirement.
Your return to nursing - 4 March, 12:00 - 13:00
This event is for former nurses looking to re-enter the profession and will provide valuable insights and resources to help former nurses return to practice in Coventry and Warwickshire. Featuring expert speakers from Coventry University and clinical placement information from NHS practice educators, attendees will leave the session with information on navigating the application process, placements, course content, financial support, and attendance details.
Tracey Brigstock, Chief Nursing Officer at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust and lead for the Your Nursing Career Here campaign said:
“We’re excited to be hosting these events and continuing to put Coventry and Warwickshire on the map as a career’s destination for nurses. Across organisations, nurses can really have their whole career here and we’re dedicated to supporting nurses in the area to develop, thrive and realise their career aspirations. These events will highlight development in the area and are open to all, whether nurses are already working in Coventry and Warwickshire, or just want to find out what we have to offer. We would also really encourage any former nurses who have left the profession to indulge your curiosity about what a return to practice could look like, as I guarantee it will be a rewarding journey.”
Events are free to attend and will be hosted on Microsoft Teams. See all events and register through Eventbrite at bit.ly/nursing-career-events .
