Placement locations
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.
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 highly desirable. For non-drivers, travel to and within placement will be required. This may include public transport which can be challenging given the rural nature of the South West. Adjustments to placement location for disability, health conditions and caring responsibilities will be considered and accommodated where possible.
