'A patient journey' - a toolkit for teachers

Developed by Health Education England in the North East, ‘A patient journey’ is a toolkit that can be used across the curriculum at key stages three and four. 

By exploring the range of NHS roles that help patients in their care, the easy-to-use toolkit provides teachers with everything they need to deliver informative lessons with confidence.

“The really great thing is that it is seamless. I can use it as it is with very little preparation time. This is a real positive so ‘take it and run with it’!” 

Lecturer in a further education college

Accompanying the resources are 18 films, each exploring a different role in health. You can find all the films on this exclusive YouTube playlist [1] below.

The toolkit has a range of resources that can be edited and expanded to meet your needs and promote careers in the NHS. Toolkit resources include:

  • user guide [2]
  • Powerpoint presentation [3]
  • guide on using the presentation [4]
  • student worksheets [5]
  • teacher worksheets [6]
  • range of films [1] (link to YouTube playlist)
  • infographics (Danny's story [7], Edith's story [8], Harry's story [9], Carly and James' [10], and Corporal Jed James' [11] story) 

We recommend starting with the user guide [2] to help get an understanding of how the resources can be used in a learning environment.
