Hey!
I think it depends on you... if your placement is in a hospital, on one side, yeah you would just be in the lab, which could be good for your portfolio if you decided you don't want to do med anymore and u want to be a biomedical scientist. And if it is in a hospital, maybe you can get connections with hospital workers, which could be good for work experience (a little off topic, but idk if you have shadowing experience, but i heard that getting a shadowing place is difficult, so maybe having connections with hospital workers could help with that). You also have to consider if you want to have that extra year, or if you want to just get over your degree, not waste a year and apply asap to medicine. If you do the placement year, and it is in an industry, not only that could be good for your cv, but also you can have an extra year to strengthen your med application, wether it is to have more work experience, or study more for entrance exams.
Hope this helps
