At Frimley Park Hospital we provide placements for year four and five medical students from the University of Southampton Medical School.
Our aims
We take pride in the part we have to play in developing and encouraging students to be great doctors and physician associates by:
• To provide the students with the tools to have confidence and interpersonal skills amongst their peers.
• Offer a comprehensive and cohesive support system to the students including a buddy system by junior doctors to the students to have a first point of contact and provide them with support and mentorship where required. This will give them the opportunity to develop in a working environment.
• Encourage the students to communicate with the PGEC to provide an open pathway of communication regarding domestic and administrative factors.
• Develop on their knowledge they have already acquired by providing an excellent teaching programme including simulation sessions, bedside teaching, microbiology and radiology teaching which will enable them to consider their future career pathways.
