I estimated the cost of arranging everything myself, but Work the World compared VERY favourably, and the stress they saved me was well worth the extra few pounds!

My placement was in Accident and Emergency for 3 weeks, which was an unbelievable experience. My supervisor was phenomenal - an amazing teacher. I saw many things I will never forget, and which have forever left an impact on the way I will practice medicine in the future, both at home and abroad.
