Placements

Work placements are designed to prepare you to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing clinical environment, whether this be a hospital, GP surgery, or community healthcare setting. All students will be allocated placement opportunities across a wide range of clinical settings, to allow them to experience care delivery within different environments, and to understand the varied aspects of a nurse's role. Please note, you'd be responsible for travel, accommodation, and general living costs relating to placements.

Placement expenses for travel, accommodation may be reimbursed by NHS Bursaries where, for example, the requirement exceeds that of attending university; requires transport out of normal operating hours; or requires additional accommodation to that of the usual term time location. These expenses may need to be covered initially by the student before any applicable reimbursement is received.
