The GP placement was really interesting. All the staff were really friendly and I learnt lots. I got to sit in some consultations and the doctor took me through how you diagnose patients and how to send them for tests after.

I really enjoyed my week at the GP practice. I now have a really good idea of what the doctors and nurses do and how difficult it can be to work in a doctor's surgery. My favourite part was learning about how to diagnose patients.

I found the week in the GP practice really interesting. I didn't realise how much was involved in running a doctor's surgery. It was really interesting to sit in patient consultations and learn about how to refer patients to other areas.
