6. What clinical experience and placement opportunities will there be?
In your first two years, you will visit various community based NHS healthcare settings in the fields of mental health, general practice, and public health, alongside acute and specialist provision. This will help you gain a good general understanding of what’s involved in each. Early clinical experience visits are normally undertaken in pairs, occur throughout the first and second years of study, and are no more than a day for each visit.
In your third year around 80% of your programme will be undertaken as clinical placement learning, and this will be in NHS hospitals and again in NHS community practice settings. Time on clinical placement increases in your fourth and fifth years as you develop the necessary knowledge and skills required to practise as a doctor.
