Introduction:

University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust, one of the region’s largest teaching hospitals offers multiple opportunities for all International and local clinical placement candidates who wish to seek an opportunity for observership at our trust under the supervision of our consultants, who volunteer support for these placements.

We offer placement opportunities to as many International Medical Graduates and Medical Elective Students as possible who wish to seek a taster opportunity in the working lives of the doctors in the NHS work environment. This opportunity will enhance their understanding towards quality patient care, clinical support and other administrative activities appropriate to them becoming future doctors in the NHS. Observership opportunities are also offered to Medical Electives, both International and local and Work Experience opportunities to the young students who are 16 years or above as part of their school curriculum in the UK.
