Our students will rotate across our partner hospitals and a number of local GP practices throughout the Clinical Skills Unit in Phase 1 of the course. Travel costs are incurred once a week in Phase 1 and it is around 45p per mile. We reimburse students whose travel is longer than 25 miles where we refund any mileage over 25 in one direction.

Travel, and the ability to travel will be key to your final role as a FY1 Doctor. This is emphasised throughout your time with us as medical students. We strongly advise that you have access to a car where possible, this will make travel between locations considerably easier. There is ample parking on both campuses, with electric charging points available. As public transport is not always reliable and taxis are costly, it is important that you are aware of your travel requirements during your time with us.
