Work experience

For prospective students

We offer an annual work experience week for year 12 students who are hoping to study a degree in medicine, nursing or other allied health professions, such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy and paramedic science. The week includes clinical training, both in patient-facing and classroom settings, interacting with different professions and hands-on experience in a healthcare environment.

Our Work Experience Week will take place 29 July - 2 August 2024. Applications to take part in the 2024 week are now closed. Please revisit this page later in the year for details of our 2025 week.

If you're interested in gaining experience working in our charity shops, please visit our retail page.

For healthcare professionals & undergraduates

We are able to offer experience days for undergraduate students and registered healthcare professionals. If you are a healthcare professional or student who would like to spend a day shadowing our clinical teams and experiencing Thames Hospice, please email education@thameshospice.org.uk
