Although eight out of 10 undergraduates say they would be proud to work in the NHS, over half told a survey they would never consider a career in the health service.

The NHS Careers survey revealed that 78% of undergraduates said that the NHS would not be their first choice employer and 54% said they would not even consider a career with the public sector health employer.

The survey of around 1,000 students at 14 English universities also revealed that 81% agreed the NHS would offer them good training and career progression, and nearly two in five said it does not offer careers to suit every graduate.
