University of Reading Healthreach Team Visit

Our Year 12 Applied Science and Biology students were visited by the University of Reading Healthreach team this Thursday morning.

The Year 12 students took part in a workshop which involved discussing the topics related to vital signs in the healthcare settings uch as those relating to respiratory including peak flow and spirometry.

The students enjoyed the opportunity to use stethoscopes, blood pressure monitors, pulse rate monitors, handheld ECGs, oxygen capacity monitors and spirometers.

The workshop not only complemented their biology curriculum content but also expanded their knowledge of certain aspects of the medical side of biology and gave students some medical experience which will be of great use for those applying to university or medical professions.

Thank you to the University of Reading and the Healthreach team for their informative visit.
