What are Placements?

Unlock Real-World Experience with Hub Plus Derbyshire Student Placements

Placements are more than just a learning opportunity—they’re a launching pad for future careers in health and social care. By working hands-on with real patients and experienced healthcare professionals, students turn theory into action, refining essential problem-solving and decision-making skills that can't be learned from a textbook. It's where classroom knowledge comes to life!

Why Student Placements Matter

For students, placements are a crucial steppingstone to becoming fully qualified professionals. It’s a chance to test-drive skills, build confidence, and see first-hand what it’s like to work in Primary Care. Meanwhile, practices and Primary Care Networks (PCNs) benefit from a fresh perspective and the opportunity to mentor the next generation of healthcare talent. It’s a win-win, where students often find long-term employment and practices discover potential future colleagues.
