Undergraduate Medicine

Southport & Ormskirk NHS Trust support placements for undergraduate student doctors from both University of Liverpool & Edge Hill University, across CP1, CP3, Cp4 & CP5 cohorts. We also provide a broad range of placement opportunities for student physician associates across both years of study.

Our cohorts of undergraduates attend core programmes of learning comprising CBL’s, Bedside Teaching & specialist training in Clinical Skills procedures as well as courses of Simulation training. In addition, there are a broad range of further learning opportunities, including access to “free” practice or peer/clinical educator supported practice of core clinical skills procedures in our dedicated Clinical Skills Practice Zones (CPZ1 & 2).

Further opportunities to enhance and expand learning are afforded through the departmental Experiential Learning Opportunities which our College Tutors have worked with the medical education team to highlight, our weekly Grand Round presentations organised by the Postgraduate Team, and regular Student Safety Huddles chaired by the Undergraduate Clinical Sub-Dean.

Our Undergraduate Coordinators, Laura & Debby, are based primarily at Southport Clinical Education Centre, but along with our Clinical Education Facilitators and Centre Technician, provide regular on-site administrative, pastoral and clinical education support on the Ormskirk site. The ODGH Schedule for Undergraduates for the training year is provided to all students during their induction programme, along with their core timetables and handbooks.

What Our Library Users Are Saying...

"Apprentices now have greater access to resources, not only at College or University but in the workplace. The benefits are not solely logistical; the resources and services available to them via the Library & Knowledge Service are current, relevant and varied."

"The library provided me with the evidence base to support a service development of developing a early discharge detox policy. This has improved patient clinical outcomes. This also reduces length of stay and re-attendance at A&E."

"Literature searches carried out by the library staff assisted in the development of a new education program for unregistered staff in response to the Francis report."

"The library carried out a literature search and provided my team with a wealth of relevant information from a variety of different sources that we were able to use within our poster presentation."

"The information I receive has a positive impact in my role as a Non-Executive Director. Over the past year in post I have found the library alerting service to be an invaluable resource it is a great way to be kept informed via the on-line platform that I can access at times to suit."
