“You are continually getting hands on practical
experience and putting into practice what you
have learnt in the lectures.
My placements ranged from first opinion
practices to referral hospitals including the
RVC’s Queen Mother Hospital. I loved my time
in the QMH, especially because it’s a teaching
hospital, and am even working there part time,
alongside studying this year!”
