MORE than 100 teenagers gained an insight into the NHS at a careers event at County Hall, Durham.
The event was organised by the University Hospital of North Durham with help from the Durham Business and Education Executive.
It aimed to interest 14 to 16-year-olds in health service careers. They were able to chat to professionals, including doctors, nurses, medical secretaries and dieticians, and take part in activities such as administering first aid.
Dave McKie, of County Dur-ham and Darlington Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, said: "We had excellent feedback from some of the teachers and pupils themselves. I think the success was in making the event interactive."
