Support throughout your Voluntary Medicine,Physiotherapy, Nursing, Midwifery, Dentistry, Occupational Therapy or Speech Therapy Placement

All placements will receive the same unrivalled support from our staff in your home and destination countries. We will work with you to find a placement that suits your level of experience. When you arrive at your destination we will meet you from the airport and give you a comprehensive induction of your local area, including meeting your host family and showing you the 'sights and sounds'. Once you start work we will meet regularly with you and your supervisor, and are always available both inside and outside of normal working hours.
