A DRAMATIC recreation of a serious road crash is to be used in a bid to encourage youngsters into a career in health and social care.
Students from Hammonds High School's drama department will act out the incident next week in front of more than 100 14 and 15-year-olds at Swaffham's EcoTech Centre.
The scenario will help students learn about the types of health and social care areas which patients might encounter after an accident.
During a series of workshops the youngsters will also learn about the role played by emergency service and health professionals and get a flavour of what a career in those organisations might like.
