2021 Elective Placements

How to apply

Applications should be submitted by the 31st May 2021 at the latest, to ensure we can process everything before the requested start date. Placements will be taking place during the months of July & August only. All applications must be made through the DUE. Even if the student has a direct contact within the speciality to which they are applying, the relevant application paperwork must still be provided to the Undergraduate Department.

Please send the following to the DUE: 

• Your completed application form 
• A letter from your University confirming your status as a student at that institution
• A short copy of your Curriculum Vitae
• A personal statement (no longer than a single side of A4) stating your reasons for applying for elective and what are your aims and objectives for your proposed placement. You should also include information as to why you wish to come to East Lancashire in particular.
• Your required tunic size

​
Once an application has been received it will be sent to a potential supervisor in the relevant speciality. The decision as to whether the application can be accepted will rest with that individual and not with the DUE. The applicant will be notified as soon as possible but it should be noted that this process can take some time.

Please would you let us know which size tunic you require.

You wear this with your own professional lower half.
