Description
Summary:As senior medical students who have had the privilege of undergoing early year clinical workplace experience, we believe that this opportunity medical students have through experiencing the ‘frontline’ could be utilised advantageously by the National Health Service (NHS). A system under pressure with depleting resources seemingly persists to be a constant theme that surrounds the NHS. Due to such issues, improvements in all sectors are sought, including costs, patient experience and communication between healthcare professionals. Through this article we highlight and analyse how medical students’ early workplace experience, as presented by Leedham-Green et al., could benefit the NHS through tackling some of the challenges mentioned prior.
