Adverts encourage career in NHS

Still from NHS recruitment advert A new advertising campaign is encouraging people to consider a career in the NHS in Scotland.

A series of television and radio adverts begin on Monday, coinciding with the start of the first Scottish NHS awareness week.

About 150,000 people work for the NHS in Scotland in hundreds of different jobs, from receptionists to paramedics.

The Scottish Executive is spending £1m on the fresh recruitment drive for the NHS in Scotland.

The adverts, featuring real NHS staff, will run initially for a three-month period.

A call centre and a website have both been set up to deal with any resulting inquiries.

As well as encouraging more people to work for the service, the executive also aims to raise the general awareness of the range of occupations that are available.
