Please use the information on this page to understand how Hennick Bridgepoint works with educational institutions to provide clinical placements for learners.

Arranging a clinical placement

We welcome individual learners and groups of learners to our unique, interprofessional, collaborative environment.  We take learners from the professions and the institutions listed below, with which we have current affiliation agreements. Hennick Bridgepoint does not, in general, provide any funding for learners studying on placement.

Please note also that Hennick Bridgepoint can offer placements only to learners for whom the placement is part of their curriculum.  Students seeking paid or unpaid general hospital experience, outside of an academic curriculum should approach either the Volunteer Office or the Careers page.

In order to arrange a placement you should ask your institution to contact the Academic Office.  Other than medical trainees Hennick Bridgepoint does not accept placement requests directly from learners. 

We consider learners for placements who are studying overseas where they are put forward via an affiliated academic partner. If you are studying overseas and hope to have a placement at Hennick Bridgepoint as part of your degree, ask your institution to contact one of the affiliated institutions listed on this page below.
