Where do you get sent do your placements ?

[@studentmediccarys]

We could be sent anywhere in Wales! We have a mixture of hospital and non-hospital placements, including NEPTS, on emergency ambulances, theatres, A&E and so much more! It’s absolutely fantastic as you get to work in rural, sub-urban and urban areas, and gain experience and exposure in a variety of different settings

@@studentmediccarys Do you have options of places that you can choose from for the placements or does the university choose the locations for you

[@studentmediccarys]

@@klaud6055 The university arranges it for you, but if you have extenuating circumstances (and proof of it) then they are quite lenient with placements and try to place you as close as possible to home/where you need to be
