We offer opportunities for healthcare professionals from overseas to observe and learn from our world-class team.

Due to Covid-19, clinical observerships and elective placements are currently not taking place at the Trust. Applications will not be accepted or processed during this time. Our inbox is monitored for refund purposes only.
