I haven't actually done any work experience in my gap year at all to be honest, I figured I had enough. Well, healthcare related anyway. Before I applied the first time I did a weeks work ex held by PMS postgrad centre inc a load of lectures about why you don't want to be a Dr and some hands on workshops on skills like first aid, intubation, defibrilltion and interview skills. This lead to half a day on wards where I got to obeserve colonoscopies and bronchoscopies and I got a day in surgery watching a laproscopic oesophagectomy. I also did three months one afternoon a week in a GP's, I was an APAUSE sex education peer educator, I taught juniors how to sail, I worked as a saturday girl at BHS and was awarded the above and beyond the call of duty staff award and I was the schools walking team captain. Whilst at uni doing biomedical science I learnt to row and was made stroke of my boat, I volunteered for two years one night a week on neuro and elderly care wards and did a load of patient satisfaction surveys and I worked in a pensions administration office, and still do, as a project officer on a technical team constructing spreadsheets, heading up projects to fix issues in data and providing software support. I've been there 4 years now on and off in holidays. None of them asked about the gap year because it's different when you're a grad. They know you've taken the time to make sure this is the right path for you and not all grads come direct form school/uni. None of them have ever asked me for more work ex either.
