Many hospitals will allow you to volunteer, which is always a good way to gain clinical experience

Thanks!


Just a heads up though, the process of volunteering at a hospital (at least for me) took absolutely ages. You'll need to do things like DBS checks, interviews and stuff before you can actually go into wards, it took me about 9 months (I applied Sep of lower sixth and started July end of lower sixth) before I could actually start working on wards so just keep that in mind if you're a current L6 - hopefully this doesn't happen to you lol
