Summer 2024

​

​

There are over 350 roles within the NHS, whatever your skills, qualifications or interests, there is a career waiting for you.

At SWL Training Hub,  we offer a range of opportunities including work experience and career events if you are considering a career within primary care.

SWL Training Hub are pleased to announce a new WEX programme for school students in state schools in South West London.

 

(Please note that the programme will not accept students who study at independent schools on this occasion.)

 

The work experience application process for 2024 will open on Monday 11th March 2024 and is for over 16 years old only.

​

Please be aware work experience is popular and always oversubscribed, we therefore cannot guarantee a placement. Early applications are encouraged.

​

Work experience provides an opportunity to gain insight through observation into the many roles available within primary care.

​

We are offering a 3 day work experience internship which will have some classroom activities and the opportunity to  shadow staff in a wide variety of job roles and areas, both clinical and non-clinical in primary care. The practices who offer work experience vary per borough due to organisational reasons.

​

 

Programme Overview:

• Duration: The WEX programme spans three days, from July 8th to July 10th, 2024.

• Location: Participants will have the opportunity to engage in both practical and classroom-based activities. On July 9th, they will be stationed at various practices across South West London from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm. On July 10th, they will continue their shadowing experiences from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Additionally, the students will spend the remainder of their time at Tuition House in Wimbledon, where they will attend sessions focused on CV building, interview skills, image and social media training, and exploration of different roles within general practice.

• Work Experience Activities: During their time at the practices, students will engage in a variety of activities designed to provide them with a comprehensive understanding of primary care without compromising patient confidentiality.

 

Important Notes:

Unpaid Placements: Please note that work experience placements are unpaid.

Costs: SWL Training Hub will not cover any costs related to travel, subsistence, parking, or accommodation.

Confidentiality: Students will be reminded of the importance of patient confidentiality and will not be involved in any activities that breach patient privacy.

 

The Summer 2024 Work Experience Programme at SWL Training Hub offers an invaluable opportunity for school students to explore career paths within primary care.

In the meantime, we politely ask you to please not contact the office in regards to your application status as the information provided will not differ from the information on this webpage.
