Placement locations
We work in close partnership with NHS Trusts and other placement providers in the South West region. Trainees will be allocated a placement base within Somerset, Devon or Dorset which they are recommended to make their residential base for the duration of the programme for reasons of travel and well-being.
Clinical placements often require considerable travel due to the wide and rural geographical area. A current driving licence and access to your own vehicle is strongly recommended as the use of public transport can often be extremely challenging given the rural nature of the South West. Adjustments to placement location for disability and caring responsibilities will be considered and accommodated where possible. Trainees should expect to travel for placements during training and we are unable to guarantee particular placement locations for individual trainees.
