Work experience

For prospective students

We offer an annual work experience week for year 12 students who are hoping to study a degree in medicine, nursing or other allied health professions, such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy and paramedic science. The week includes clinical training, both in patient-facing and classroom settings, interacting with different professions and hands-on experience in a healthcare environment.

Our Work Experience Week will run from 27 - 31 July 2026, and you can apply here. Before you start your application, make sure you have your CV ready, a head shot photo and a short explanation - written (up to 300 words) or recorded as a video (1-2 minutes) - about how you think you’ll benefit from a week of work experience at Thames Hospice.

For healthcare professionals & undergraduates

We are able to offer experience days for undergraduate students and registered healthcare professionals. If you are a healthcare professional or student who would like to spend a day shadowing our clinical teams and experiencing Thames Hospice, please email education@thameshospice.org.uk
