The Working in Health Access Network (WHAN) exists to increase interest in a career in health amongst school pupils.  The focus of WHAN is to increase their aspirations and provide information concerning courses in healthcare in both universities and colleges.  WHAN works directly with the next generation of health workers to ensure that the health sector is staffed by committed individuals with the skills required to help make Scotland a healthier, stronger, fairer, smarter and wealthier place in which to live, study and work.

This report portrays the development of the WHAN network so far.  It also raises questions and challenges for the future.  As the current phase of WHAN continues until this July, the complete statistical analysis is not yet available.  Nevertheless, there is considerable creativity, innovation and success in WHAN school and college activities.  This report is an introduction to these activities; more detailed outcomes will be available from the middle of 2009.
