Placements
Placements are an integral part of the Nursing programme and up to 50% of the programme is made up of time on placement. The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) specify the required number of clinical hours that students must complete in order to pass the programme and register with the NMC Council.
At the University of Exeter, we have a variety of placement opportunities for our students, at sites across Devon, Cornwall and Somerset. These can include NHS Trusts, community hospitals, community outreach teams, primary care settings, social care settings and voluntary healthcare settings. We believe it is vital for our students to understand the whole patient journey and we ensure that students attend a variety of different settings throughout the programme to experience a variety of patient care settings.
The South West is a rural area and students will need to travel to placement sites, for which expenses can be claimed for travel or additional accommodation.
