TBH the way Bradford works in this respect may or may not be how it works where you end up, where are you hoping to go?
We were asked very early in the course if we had a preference, as Bradford uni has a higher percentage of commuting students than any other uni in Britain most people ask to go to Bradford Royal Infirmary. The hospital I am placed at requires me to be on the bus before 7am and I get home about 6:30pm so it's a long day, but I like the hospital and the people.
I'd strongly recommend that you start studying a bit of anatomy to give yourself a head start, knowing every bone in the hands, arms, feet and legs is a good start. Not just the names of the bones but the different surfaces and suchlike.
Order yourself a copy of Bones & Joints by Gunn, ISNB 978 0 7020 5399 3, it's not cheap but I've almost worn my copy out in the first year!
