Online Work Experience UK | Hospital, Dental & GP Workshops

Work Experience & Free Supracurricular

Gaining insight into healthcare, specifically exploring the life of a doctor or dentist, is a core requirement for applications. However, accessing in-person placements can be difficult, with age barriers or a lack of opportunities. These sessions can also be inconsistent in what they offer or may be led by professionals who are great doctors and dentists but lack insight into the admission process. Therefore, traditional placements may lack structure and guidance, meaning students spend hours without gaining the necessary components for their application.

Dr Admissions offers specialised online work experience workshops that provide an accessible alternative to give students the clinical understanding, reflection, and professional insight needed to stand out.

These workshops are designed by Senior NHS Consultants and overseen by Dr Afrosa Ahmed to ensure you develop the knowledge needed for personal statements and interviews.
