Three WOW Show films now include a new interactive Q&A event with students from five schools across England able to speak directly to a panel of young pharmacy professionals who answer the questions they have about a career in this vital healthcare profession.
The films are integrated into four flexible classroom modules of 20-40 minutes each which bring the world of the Pharmacist vividly to life, challenging perceptions and stereotypes and offering new insights into how their roles are adapting to future health needs in the community.
There’s also the opportunity for teachers and students to give us feedback on their classroom experience by filling out a simple anonymous Survey Monkey.
Working with Health Education England and our teacher-led partners VotesforSchools, The WOW Show has produced a comprehensive package of resources aimed particularly at Years 9-11. The content comprises:
Module/lesson 1 immerses the students in what pharmacy is and what pharmacists do including the vital role the profession has played throughout the COVID pandemic
Module/lesson 2 lets students appreciate some of the essential skills pharmacists need and allows the students to experience some bespoke training techniques centred around communication skills and active listening, similar to those that pharmacist undergraduates undertake
Module/lesson 3 uses the three special WOW Show films to take students on virtual workplace experiences, meeting different pharmacists and seeing them at work in a variety of healthcare settings - as well as being able to see the questions other students around the country are asking our panel of experts in the studio.
Module/lesson 4 lets students know how they can become part of this profession and/or find out more from the wealth of valuable information sources that are curated in this lesson. They can also give their feedback via the integrated Survey Monkey.
