Placements and practice learning
To ensure you can confidently apply theory to practice, you will spend around half of your studies in practice-related activities. This includes approximately 20 weeks each year in practice placements with local NHS trusts and other health and social care providers. Clinical placements take place across Sussex, Surrey and Kent.
