Yes you can work part time. Are you going to apply for the NHS Learning Support Fund?

No it's not a bursary. The NHS LSF pays an annual training grant of £5k per year if you study at a uni in England:

Hi, I’m starting OT at Derby also. I asked the days in my interview and was told
Year 1 : 3 days a week
Year 2 : 2.5 days a week
Year 3: 2 days
Obviously a 10 week placement in each year so YES you can work a bank role or something for sure.
I will be doing the same

Hi Julia .
I don’t know what I’m going to do.
I have background in children and ASD so I think I’ll look into children’s homes or elderly care for bank roles
