Simulated Medical Work Experience - Lincoln Medical School / Lincolnshire Training Hub

Lincolnshire Training Hub are holding an event at Lincoln Medical School called 'Simulated Work Experience' for students applying to medicine. 

This new re-vamped event aimed to help students who want to apply to Medicine gain insight into working in the NHS, and learn skills they will find helpful throughout their medical degree. We acknowledge that work experience has become increasingly hard to get, due to COVID and high prices held by other companies. Therefore, we started this event to help those in need.  

The event will be held at the University of Lincoln Medical School on Saturday 15th of July between 9am and 5:15pm.  

The day will be split into two, with a free lunch provided in the middle. The sessions include: 

  • Morning full of teaching:  
    • What is the NHS? 
    • What is the role of a doctor? 
    • How to take a full medical history 
    • How to fill out medical stationary e.g. prescriptions, medical notes 
  • Free Lunch for all students
  • Afternoon simulations for students to practice all the skills they learnt: 
    • Run their own GP clinic, completing tasks after each patient 
    • Group simulation for a day in A+E  

To apply for this FREE course please fill out the application form attached, and return it to [email protected]  

Our website will be updated within the next few days, and the form and information will be also under > Training and Events > Futures Programme > Future Doctor 

The deadline for applications is the 28th of June.
