Process for arranging placements at University Hospitals Bristol & Weston NHS Trust (St Michael’s Hospital)


 
1 - Agree duration and possible dates of placement with your employing manager before you book your placement weeks on the Eventbrite system  
 
2 - Check placement availability on the Eventbrite placement booking page and reserve your placement weeks for your agreed dates at the correct hospital (see previous page). Click here to book your placement.

  • Applicant to complete an ID check and self-declaration forms as requested by UHBW HR 

4 - Inform the Matron and Education leads (contact details below) at both the placement unit and your own unit when your Honorary Contract application process has started, and again when your application is confirmed.  

5 - Keep track of your application by communicating regularly with the placement hospital HR department (contact details below) to ensure your contract is processed in time for the start of your placement. 
 
6 - Contact the education team within the placement unit in plenty of time to ensure that you receive all preparatory information and off duty in advance of your placement starting.
