I'm supposed to be organising my yr 11 Work Experience placement at the mo, but I don't have a clue how to start. I think I want to do Medicine, but where could I go? Surely I won't be allowed to shadow a surgeon or GP, and I don't wanna do nursing, so I need inspiration!! Or if all else fails I could do a Law placement, but the only place I could go is the Crown Courts in Nottingham and as my mate is going there it won't be thought of very highly at school!!
What can you suggest??

I arranged some work experience at a local private hospital, and then got a p/t job there too, so it's definitely possible.
GP is a good idea because it will give you the opportunity to see many aspects of the job - from coughs and colds, to chronic disease, pregnancy, routine immunisations, and psychiatry. Even a morning with the practice nurse will be valuable experience.
Why not nursing? If it's the yuckiness that you don't like, then do you really want a career in medicine? <IMG SRC="wink.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
