Medic/Dental Mentor – NHS National Work Experience Applications Open

Applications for the free National NHS Virtual Work experience programme have now reopened for spring! Virtual work experiences have been accepted by the Medical Schools and Dental Schools Council as valuable alternatives to in-person shadowing.

This programme is brought to you by Birmingham Universities Hospitals Trust in collaboration with Medic Mentor, and it is completely free. Not only is this a reliable alternative to in-person shadowing, but it also plays a significant role in preparing students for their in-person work placements with structured teaching and opportunities to speak directly with healthcare professionals. The opportunity is open to any student across the UK from 14 years old and above.

To ensure you don’t miss this fantastic opportunity to gain valuable work experience, you need to attend our upcoming Get Into Medicine or Get Into Dentistry conference, granting IMMEDIATE ACCESS to the Virtual Work Experience programmes.

Taking part in the Virtual Work Experience will provide:

– Comprehensive Insights: The programme covers a range of specialities, providing a holistic understanding of medical and dental practices. Each month, a new focus area is introduced, allowing participants to delve into different aspects of the field.

– Flexible Participation: Tailored for students from years 10-13/S3-S6/NI10-14, the programme accommodates various schedules by being virtual. Participants have one month to complete each specialty, ensuring flexibility and ease of participation.

– Recognised Certification: Upon successful completion of all specialities, students will receive a certificate from Medic Mentor and UHB, validating their active participation to include in their UCAS and apprenticeships applications.

This month’s spotlight is on Obs & Gynaecology or Paediatric & Dental Surgery. It’s a chance to get a firsthand look into the inner workings of the medical and dental fields, helping your students shape their career aspirations in their chosen path.
