Step into the NHS online gallery
View our KS2 winners of the 2025/26 Step into the NHS competition.
We received more than 1,400 entries from over 1,500 pupils from all parts of England this year.
Pupils worked alone or in groups to create a piece of artwork or writing that showcased the careers in the NHS that interested them.
National winner
Congratulations to Aemilia from Thomas Russell Junior School, Burton-on-Trent on being crowed our national winner for 2025/26!
Aemilia submitted an amazing piece of artwork. She highlighted three roles in a poster she created and illustrated, these were a Pharmacist, Phlebotomist and Physiotherapist. And to enable those reading the position to see themselves in these roles, a mirror was added at the top centre. This amazing artwork was then supported by some excellent facts on each of the roles.
The judges said : “What you can’t tell from the image is it also has a mirror at the top of the poster so you can ‘see yourself’ in the position, very clever!”
Aemilia wins this year’s top prize of £50 Amazon voucher, goody bag and a framed national winner certificate. Her entry will also be displayed in her local community for all to see. Big well done to Aemilia.
