NHS Western Isles NHS Careers Shadowing and Placements

NHS Western Isles offers school leavers and school pupils the chance to explore careers through work shadowing and placements in a healthcare setting. The opportunity is aimed at those interested in a medical career and gives an insight into working in the NHS, although places are limited.

The page also signposts further NHS careers information for nursing and for students considering medicine. This includes Your Med Future, a resource designed to support aspiring Scottish medical students with information about the application process, medical school open days, personal statements, aptitude tests, interviews, and key application deadlines.

Interested students are encouraged to contact the team by email for more information about placements.
