WORK EXPERIENCE PLACEMENTS  

We accept a limited number of work experience applications from students considering a career in medicine and studying relevant subjects, via the Voluntary Services Office.

Due to Health and Safety regulations we are unable to accept applications from students who will be under 16 years old at the time of the placement.

Students under the age of 18 are not permitted into any of the OUH Trust's operating theatres.

All requests for administrative / laboratory based work experience should be directed to the HR Team.
