NHS Clinical Attachments
For both UK and internationally-trained doctors and medical students wanting to gain NHS experience
Gain NHS clinical experience by undertaking NHS Clinical Attachments
Our award-winning and market-leading programme supports both local and internationally trained doctors in gaining NHS clinical experience via NHS Clinical Attachments.
If you are reading this, we are sure it’s because you have heard about the fierce competition for NHS jobs and the requirement to have prior NHS experience.
The status quo would have future NHS doctors try to secure what’s known as Clinical Attachments to obtain clinical work experience. Trying to organise these placements is incredibly difficult; they are often sparse and require a tremendous amount of legwork, which is often unsuccessful. We have been piloting our clinical attachment programme for the last year to get the most perfect and seamless transition for our delegates. In that time, we successfully supported over countless doctors across 50 NHS organisations and currently have an over 90% offer rate for clinical attachments.
At the start of 2024, we decided we were finally ready to open our programme to the wider community.
This programme will help you to secure a clinical attachment in the NHS, whilst completely transforming your CV and understanding on the NHS.
All of our delegates have benefited from:
- support throughout the duration of the programme and your attachment
- access to a professional CV coach
- professionally tailored email templates
- consultant supervision during clinical attachments
- portfolio guidance during attachment
- insider “tricks and tips” on how to make the most of your time, including lining up employment
- consultant references on completion
Disclaimer: This is a consultancy service where LinkMedics provide you with the skills, expertise, connections and know-how to facilitate Clinical Work experience in the UK. This does not mean we reach out to hospitals on your behalf, but we will provide you with all the guidance needed and offer daily support. We know it’s overwhelming to get started, but that’s why we are here!
