A comment from a recent student …
“Doing a 5th year block at The Royal Oldham Hospital was
great. The staff at the education department were very helpful
and arranged teaching in areas where we felt we needed extra
support.
The department I was with gave me plenty of opportunities to
get involved with patient care & I was asked to clerk in patients,
present cases on ward rounds and practice many clinical
skills. All the doctors I met were friendly and approachable and
this generated an atmosphere that made going to different
wards to see patients very easy.
I would strongly recommend this placement to students in 5th
year.”

Comments from recent students …
“Thank you for such a fabulous placement, I had a really
great time and learnt a lot. My confidence in my abilities has
grown over the four weeks.”
“All the staff are really friendly and happy to answer
questions and teach things.”
“The teaching I received from….during my placement was
outstanding.”
“As a medical student you often feel that consultants don’t
have time for you and you are just in the way; this was
certainly not the case.”
