Work Experience Dress Code?

Hey, I was just wondering what I should wear for my work experience next week. I am going to be with a consultant anaesthetist and I'm really looking forward to it, it's just I have no idea what I should wear!? :confused: It says on the letter-

"Uniform: Pupils must wear appropriate school uniform. A pair of sturdy shoes is also advisable. The Placement Supervisor will confirm appropriate clothing at induction. No jewellery, including ear-rings, should be worn and long hair must be tied back."

SO should I wear my uniform, I would feel very out of place? I am not sure? Has anyone else worn their uniform when on work experience? :confused:

Thanks :biggrin:
I wouldn't wear a school uniform. Just wear smart trousers and a blouse (or whatever the female equivalent of a shirt is) with smart comfortable shoes. You will need to be bare below the elbows, so no watches/bracelets and roll your sleeves up.

But if you're in anaesthetics, chances are you will change into scrubs anyway.

If you'll be shadowing an anaesthetist, you'll probably have to change into scrubs when you start anyway. On the first day I'd wear something smart - doesn't have to be your school uniform, but smart trousers/skirt and a shirt will be fine. Wear sensible dark shoes. Once you've done that first day and worked out what's expected, you may not have to dress up so much, but it's a good idea to be smart intially at least.
nobody wears uniform whilst on w/e lol
