Practice Placements

Students will be attached to one particular Trust area anywhere within Northern Ireland for placements.  We do attempt to allocate each student to a Trust area convenient to their home address, but this is not always possible.  The School will make the final decision on placement allocations.  On placement students will be expected to follow the shift pattern of the relevant HSCT, including night shifts.
