The Royal Surrey County Hospital will hold a free event this weekend, giving attendees a chance to view its healthcare facilities, talk to staff and participate in exciting activities.
Taking place on 28 June from 11am to 3pm at the Royal Surrey County Hospital (RSCH) in Guildford, the open day offers anyone interested in healthcare the chance to find out about NHS careers and the future of the Royal Surrey.
Alongside tours of the facilities, including the operating theatres and the new cancer centre, the day will include free face painting, competitions, prizes and interactive activities.
Tours, games and more
Visitors will have the chance to:
- Get a glimpse inside operating theatres and see the surgical robots
- Walk the laboratory with the histopathology team
- Test your medical skills on high-tech dummy patients
- Learn to save a life with the resuscitation team
- Find out about different healthcare roles and career opportunities
- Get a bird's-eye view of the surgical innovation centre as it's being built
- Take a tour of the cancer centre and see the work of the radiotherapy team

Radiographers will also be running a mystery box game, with participants guessing what’s inside a scanned box based solely on the X-ray. Alongside this will be X-ray themed arts and crafts, a skeleton puzzle and the opportunity to visit some other modalities.
Visitors will also be able to view a presentation on the history of radiology, the role of a radiographer and routes to becoming one in the education room.
