Community and Public Health

The phase 3a Community and Public Health rotation is a six-week rotation in which students are attached to a General Practice surgery. It is designed to provide students with a broad and immersive experience of medical care delivered in the community. 

During the Phase 3a placement students will spend three days per week on placement at a General Practice surgery. The students gain a broad experience by spending time with multiple health care professionals in the community setting. 

In addition to the clinical placement, students have teaching at the university each Thursday which is a combination of seminars and small group tutorials. The Public Health aspect of the rotation is delivered through these sessions.
