Meanwhile, local NHS bosses are urging young people to consider a consider a career in health and social care.

They are offering more training places through degree apprenticeships so staff can “earn while they learn” – gaining a full degree while ensuring they meet the high clinical standards required by the relevant professional regulators;

There are also opportunities for working in primary care providers, including GP surgeries, pharmacies, optometrists and dental practices.

Martha Roberts, chief people officer at Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Integrated Care Board, said:

“You’ve finally got your results so well done! If you’re wondering what to do next, one thing we can be certain of is that the country will always need nurses, healthcare assistants, carers, therapists, doctors, pharmacists and people working in non-clinical NHS and social care roles.”

She added: “Working in the health and care sector is varied and always fulfilling, and there has never been a better time to start your career journey in the NHS or social care. Even if you didn’t get the grades you were expecting, don’t panic: there is a role for everyone who has the right values and skills.”
