HEALTH The values of the NHS constitution are at the heart of our health courses: respect, dignity, compassion and patient-focused care, together with the recognition that patients come first at all times. Placements are an integral part of the learning experience for all our health students. As well as providing opportunities to use new skills with patients, placements build relationships and experience of working closely with fellow health professionals. Students benefit from our partnerships with local NHS trusts and private and voluntary organisations. Students on our Public Health course are supported in developing the portfolio required for registration as a practitioner with the UK Public Health Register.
06. Public Health students have work placements with public health service providers in years 2 and 3. A great opportunity to put theory into practice, learn from public health practitioners in the field, and to build contacts for the future.
