During your stay with us, you will take part in work experience at several different hospitals and universities across London.
There’s not a lot of med school applicants that can boast that kind of work experience. Apply today and get a head start in your medical career. On our 1-week hospital placements, we get many UK and international students, so it’s always a wonderful atmosphere and the best preparation for your future medical career.
There are so many things to do in London. A city steeped in tradition, where famous buildings such as Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament sit side by side with modern monuments, immaculate parks, stylish shops and delicious cafes. Hospital work experience is why you’ll join, but there’s no reason why it shouldn’t be an incredible experience, too!
We’ve been running our Our 1-Week projects in London since 2015 and each start date is well attended by students who both live in the UK and students from all over the world. Since we’ve started we’ve thousands of students attend the project all with the aim of finding out if medicine is for them and to obtain some priceless hospital work experience to use in their applications to medical school.
Choose from the following:
Our staff team can collect you from either London Heathrow Airport or Kings Cross Railway station. Alternatively, if it suits you best, you can choose to arrive directly at the accommodation.
After getting settled into your room, we’ll have a welcome briefing, after which we will have our first meal together.
After you have enrolled on our medical courses, you’ll gain access to your Premed Portal webpage, where you can read more extensive project notes and also let us know how you would like to meet up with the team.
All accommodation is included. We want your stay with Premed Projects to be as enjoyable as possible. A huge part of the experience is sharing it with like-minded students, and after a long day of hospital placement, we want you to feel relaxed and at home.
We have arranged projects in London for several years now, and we find the accommodation to be an ideal base for the week.
We also have lots of communal space too, including a great private outdoor area too making for a great atmosphere. All rooms are comfortably furnished, so you can be sure your free time outside your hospital work experience is going to be every bit as enjoyable as your time spent within the hospitals.
Meals are not included in the course fee. Most students choose to add our optional Meal Plan (£210), which provides breakfast and evening meals for the duration of your course. You can add this after booking through your online Premed Portal webpage. On your final evening we all head to a restaurant together as a group for our final group meal and farewell dinner.
If you prefer not to add meals, our accommodation is within easy reach of hundreds of cafés, supermarkets and restaurants and your room has cooking facilities in it too.
What’s in the Meal Plan
Breakfast
Each morning, head to the lobby for a generous self-serve buffet. You’ll find bowls of fresh, seasonal fruit; chilled jugs of juices; and a hot-drinks station with tea and freshly brewed coffee. There’s a bakery spread of pastries and croissants alongside a choice of cereals, plus a savoury selection of sliced meats. Help yourself and take what you fancy to start the day well.
Evening Meals
Each night, our private caterers serve a hot, chef-prepared dinner in the accommodation. The menu changes daily—think aromatic katsu curries over fluffy rice; crisp superfood salads loaded with grains, seeds and greens; duck spring rolls with a sweet-chilli dip; ravioli in seasonal sauces; and crowd-pleasing pizzas straight from the oven. Expect generous portions, plenty of choice, and seconds if you’re still peckish.
Dietary Requirements
We’re happy to accommodate halal, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free diets and anything else—just let us know in advance.
Lunches During Hospital/University Days
Lunch isn’t included in the Meal Plan. On weekdays you’ll usually eat at the hospital cafeteria during placements, or at the university student union on campus days. On some days we also arrange a buffet lunch.
Approximately two weeks before your experience begins, we will send you your exact timetable so you know what you’ll be doing each day.
To give you an idea of what to expect, here’s an example of how your week will be structured while you’re with us. Please keep in mind this is just a sample of how your course may look, your exact timetable is sent 2-weeks before your start date:
The UK team is headed up by the lovely Jodie. There will be several project leaders taking care of you throughout the project as well as a dedicated night manager who is on site all evening. All of our project leaders are full-time members of the Premed team, and all 5 have been with us since 2016, so they’re very experienced. Together, they have overseen thousands of students joining us for work experience.
Additionally, there is 24-hour security and CCTV at the accommodation, so you really are well looked after.
Don’t worry, though; we won’t cramp your style too much. You will have lots of time to socialise with your fellow students. But, it’s good to know wherever you turn, there’s sure to be someone on hand to ensure you have a safe, stress-free experience.
It’s our aim to allow you to concentrate on your hospital work experience while we take care of the rest. Anyway, we like to think we’re a pretty cool bunch!
