How does it work
Our placement is combining real time learning with periods of self-directed learning and reflection to ensure your maximise your experience with us. Instead of a one-off exposure to the world of pads this placement has been spaced out using short 1h jam-packed learning experiences to make your application stand out and to give you an advantage hard to achieve in person on the hospital wards.
