Early patient exposure is recognised as being critical to the developing professionalism of medical students. Within the MBChB programme the first face to face student experience of meeting patients takes place in the first year of the course in community settings, facilitated by community-based allied healthcare professionals from local NHS trusts. In year 2 our community provision includes palliative care teaching and engaging with under-served communities.

Please note that Skilled Worker visa sponsorship will only be possible in specific circumstances due to the 0.7 FTE salary.
