To support our local community and promote our Trust as a local employer we will be offering face to face work experience to students living in Harrow, Ealing & Brent.

Work experience provides an opportunity for students to consolidate work based learning skills and help them to make informed career choices. As well as offering a high quality positive opportunity to contribute to the local community.  

Placements for students will differ in each ward, department or area of placement. The main aim of work shadowing (for clinical placements) will be confined to observation only. 

Students will not be permitted to take an active part in any situation relating to patient care.
