Helpful new resources from Nottingham Trent University

NTU have updated a lot of their resources in a very attractive, modern and user friendly fashion.  Two pages struck me as particularly helpful;
Firstly, their Virtual Open day Page http://www.ntu.ac.uk/virtual_open_day/#
secondly, the help page for writing more effective personal statements http://www.ntu.ac.uk/future_students/applying_finance/how_to/personal_statement/index.html

Opportunity to shadow doctors in Tanzania over half term

Students who are interested in training for a career in medicine are invited to apply for places on a one week shadowing opportunity in Tanzania.

The week will involve staying in a Gap Medics house which has its own staff who will ensure that everything on the placement runs smoothly. 

Apart from shadowing medical staff, attending ward rounds and observing operations, there is the opportunity to experience a new culture, different customs, and, of course, different food. 

And above all, the chance to see if medicine really is the right choice for the students involved.

As such the one week programme is ideal for Sixth Form students who are interested in a career as a doctor, midwife, dentist or nurse.  Not only will the week help them ensure that they are making the right decision, it will also be a valuable extra to put on the university application documentation.

If you have any students who are interested in a career in medicine please ask them to take a look at our website.

Alternatively they can call us on 0191 230 8080 or email info@gapmedics.com for more information
