In a Children's Hospital
This is one of a series of careers information books for upper primary/lower secondary schools, but it would also be useful on children's wards to allay fears about being in hospital. The information is detailed and precise, and we meet people working in every aspect of hospital life from surgeons, dieticians and radiologists to teachers and kitchen staff. Photogenic children (and staff) at the Manchester Royal Children's Hospital help make the information accessible. Interesting details such as quotes from the various professionals about their work and why they find it satisfying are also included, as well as some facts about how they trained for their jobs. An excellent production.
