I am currently taking ‘A’ levels and want to gain work experience in medicine. How can I organise this?
If you are thinking of applying to study Medicine it is useful to gain appropriate work experience. However, many hospitals have age restrictions on voluntary work and shadowing which is where the lateral thinking comes in: care homes and hospices are also medical settings, and helping out for, say, half a day each week over a long period can be even more beneficial than just two days on a hospital ward.
