Take a look at our Virtual Work Experience
Work Experience Placement (1 week)  Nursing and non-clinical areas (for Medicine placements, click here) 
  • Work experience involves and unpaid observation of a professional in their job to gain a better understanding of the role. The week is spent observing the role of staff members, watching what they do on a day-to-day basis. This type of work experience is particularly useful to students, recent graduates and career changers who are looking to gain a greater understanding of a certain role.
  • Popular areas include Nursing, Midwifery, Children’s Nursing, Administration, Catering, Estates & Facilities, Engineering 
  • What to expect – The week will begin with a day’s induction to prepare you for your work placement. Once you arrive at your chosen department you will meet your assigned mentor and begin to experience the hospital behind the scenes. You can expect to observe and partake in a variety of tasks dependant on your department and learn how the organisation works. At the end of the week you will attend an evaluation and feedback session to review your learning.
​There is a charge of £50.00 for a one week work experience placement. This covers the following:
  • Work Experience Induction and evaluation session
  • Work Experience Handbook (daily planner, tasks, references)
  • Loan of a work experience uniform top and ID Badge
  • Occupational Health Check
  • Certificate of completion

Work Shadowing Placement (1 day) (for Medicine placements, click here) ​ 
  • Work shadowing involves an unpaid observation of a professional in their job to gain a better understanding of the role.Popular areas include Radiography, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy Pharmacy, Pathology, Audiology, Dietetics and IT based careers.
  • The day is spent observing the role of the staff member, watching what they do on a day-to-day basis. This type of shadowing is particularly useful to students, recent graduates and career changers who are looking to gain a greater understanding of a certain role.
  • Students will have the opportunity to ask staff members any questions and complete any university paperwork required. (Please ensure you bring this with you on the day).
  • What to expect - As this is only a 1 day experience, it's unlikely you'll get to carry out any tasks, although this will depend on the department. Instead you can expect the staff member you're shadowing to show you what they do and explain why things are done in a certain way. You may also be able to sit in on some meetings, watch patient interactions and there may be time set aside for you to ask questions.
