Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board believes that Work Experience placements play an important role in helping to attract those who will lead and deliver health provision of the future.
Student placements provide an opportunity to discover more about the people we care for, the organisation, its departments and various professions.
Placements are limited and will be determined by suitability of the applicant (application form and interview if necessary), the policy regarding work experience and the availability at the time of application. Consideration will be given to applicants from Year 10 students upwards, dependent on the area of work requested. We are currently reviewing our policy and are not taking applications from students or applicants under the age of 16.
To be considered for a work placement, you must firstly be certain of which department(s) within the NHS you wish to be considered for. Applications which do not state a preferred department will not be accepted.
