In this episode, we go behind the scenes of medical student placements with Kim Walker, Ashley Meldrum, and Moraig Gordon from the University of Aberdeen. From first years finding their feet to senior students embedded in clinical teams, placements are critical—but they can be overwhelming, both for students and for busy NHS staff.
Kim, Ashley, and Moraig explain how their team bridges the gap, offering on-the-ground support to students while working closely with clinical educators to keep placements running smoothly. It’s all about relationships, problem-solving, and making sure students—and staff—feel supported, informed, and ready for real-world healthcare environments.
Featuring:
- How the team supports 300+ medical students on placement
- What clinicians need to know when supervising students
- Why uniforms, lanyards, and visibility matter
- Top tips for making teaching feel less daunting in busy clinical settings
