I'm currently in yr 10 and I want to do work experience for Medicine.Do you know how and where I can get it?
As the others said, contact the hospital directly and early. Sometimes it will be through a student coordinator so it could be worth asking for them.I'm currently in yr 10 and I want to do work experience for Medicine.Do you know how and where I can get it?
Thanks I was gonna try for the children's hospitals but most are in the city area like randwick so might try for Westmead children's. I was also gonna try for a pharmacyYou know how we need a week of compulsory work experience in year 10? Im planning to do some work experience at a hospital. Just google search {insertnearbyhospital} work experience. you could also try your local chemist.

I think I'm going to on TuesdayGet in early because usually there's months and months of waiting time for hospitals. Just call or visit your local hospital.
Same in my school it isn't and I go to a comprehensive one maybe it's just implemented in selective schools I know it is in privates since my bestfriend told meWait is this for all schools? I wasn't aware that a week of work experience was compulsory?
Work experience in a hospital is pretty crap tbh. Back in the days most of my friends and I spent our time licking envelopes for the ward clerk, the latest work experience student I've seen on the ward seem to spend most of his time reading the posters on the walls. There are various privacy and OH&S reasons why you wouldn't be exposed to the more interesting things, and even if you were taken on a ward round it's unlikely you'd understand anything. You certainly won't get access to senior doctors who could act as referees.I'm currently in yr 10 and I want to do work experience for Medicine.Do you know how and where I can get it?

How was it?not really, i organised mine at north shore within a week before my placement
Westmead Children's and Westmead Hospitals required months. Guess it depends on the location.not really, i organised mine at north shore within a week before my placement
I actually went to Westmead today since it was more convenient and yeah they said they kinda stopped the thing but I might do the volunteering there.The head of the volunteering department wasn't there so they told me to come back at the end of February.I was gonna do St Vincent but it's a bit distant but I know they're only offering nursing work experience at the moment when they emailed meWestmead Children didn't allow me for work experience in 2013 so I ended up going to St Vincent's hospital the process is such a trek though by providing all the evidence of your vaccinations etcc it took ages! I know a few people from other schools who actually went inside an operating theatre but I just went around wards and followed doctors etcc still a good experience though!
Oh and I just emailed the hospitals directly
pretty great. Although it didn't teach me much, it was still good to be in the settingHow was it?
