Our Trust currently welcomes 4th and 5th Year Medical Students and 1st Year and 2nd Year Physician Associates from the University of Liverpool.
The Medical Education Service periodically receives email requests from students wishing to undertake a period of “elective placement” within the UK/EEA/EU (European Economic Area/European Union) as well as overseas (international) students. Our current guidelines and policy will be subject to review following The United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union.
If you wish to enquire about an elective placement please contact:
