‘In person’ work experience
With regret the Trust is not able to offer ‘in person’ work experience at this time. This is not a decision taken lightly as we recognise the significant value of our work experience programme. However, given social distancing guidance and added complexities of providing healthcare in the changing COVID-19 situation, it is felt that this is the most appropriate decision. We shall continue to review and will publish latest updates to this page.
