The Urology Department actively hosts and supports work experience placements for school students currently in Year 11 and 12 at East Kent schools who are interested in applying for medical school. This has been part of the MedStart programme run by the Medical Education department supported by the Director of Medical Education.

​

School students in Year 11 and 12 who are studying at a school in East Kent and may be interested in following a career in Medicine are invited to apply for a place on the MedStart Plus work experience block week, provided they are over the age of 16 and have previously attended one of the MedStart4U taster days held at the Trust. Attendance on one of the block weeks will be guided by the Trust Work Experience Policy so all guidelines will be followed while students are at the Trust in a hospital setting. 

​

We are working in collaboration with the East Kent CCG Group to arrange these block weeks so the students will have the opportunity to attend work experience in a GP practice in addition to their hospital experience.
