Yes you can! As a DofE Approved Activity Provider, Medic Mind’s medicine work experience qualifies for the Gold DofE Residential section. As part of this residential, you will take part in organised sessions in the morning, afternoon and evening. You will stay in UCL halls of residence in central London. Call us today to book your DofE gold residential package.

Many students look to do medicine work experience in a hospital due to the variety of medical professions you can observe. However, when it comes to hospital work experience, London can be highly competitive and students are advised to contact hospitals well in advance of when they want to undertake their work experience in medicine. Our 5-day medical work experience programme takes the organisation away from you so you don't need to worry!

With hands-on activities, workshops, and visits to real-world medical environments, you’ll gain practical insight into different medical fields, helping you decide if it’s the right career for you.

We recommend that students bring a notepad and pen to take notes (or a device to write on). In addition, students should bring a water bottle for the day. Students do not need to bring lunch as this will be provided but they might want to bring a couple of snacks to eat throughout the day. Please make sure these snacks are NUT FREE to take into account any students that may have nut allergies.

Students opting for the residential programme will stay in Ramsay Hall, part of the University College London (UCL) campus. Students will stay in single occupancy rooms with shared bathroom facilities. Male and female students will be placed in separate floors.

Students will be able to arrive on the Sunday before the start of the programme. There will be a member of the Study Mind team to greet you. Students will check out on the Friday after the programme has ended. If you would like to book an extra night accommodation (e.g. Friday night), please contact us and we can arrange this for you (dependant on availability).

Students can expect to receive a finalised timetable of their work experience week by the end of May. Students will also receive further information on what to pack/bring and pre-preparation materials by mid June so that they can prepare themselves for the programme and get the most out of their experience.
