how to find work experience in hospitals or charity shops or care homes?

We Answered:

ask to speak to the Matron or Officer in Charge.
Another possibility is Age Concern - many Towns have Clubs and Luncheon Clubs for older people; they would welcome volunteer help.
Anything like that would look good on your CV

Can 15years olds do work experience in hospitals?

We Answered:

No hospital will allow a 15 year old to do patient work. Most of the time until you are certified you cannot do any work with a patient. You can almost definitely shadow a doctor, though, or help file paperwork, but it really depends on the hospital.

I understand you didn't mean patient work. I put it there to clarify. Did you read the third sentence?

Any tips on getting work experience at a hospital?

We Answered:

By medical work experience it would simply needs you to do some voluntary work in hospital. You may ask your nearest hospital to volunteer in say, pediatrics. Or you may help around the hospital when they are conducting CME like distributing the pamphlets. Or you can ask from small pharmacy or clinics to do some kind of attachment.

They are all considered as work experience. You are not expected to do what doctors or nurses do.

The need for this work experience is to show that you are VERY interested to do medicine.

Hope this helps

Work Experience in Hospitals?

Get some comfortable shoes coz you will be walking all over the place! :D If you don't like staircases, get used to them. Most people take the stairs instead of elevators when they just want to go to lunch or avoid being around patients while running errands. If it's a hospital with separate buildings on the campus, you might not always walk just to your own building, especially if you are an office worker and someone doesn't send you something, and you have to go pick it up. So yep, get good shoes. Besides, most campuses have a health thing they try to have all the employees do, like park their cars as far from the building they work in and walk as many steps as possible.

It will be so clean in the hospital, you will notice immediately if something is not clean and it will bug you and your friends. You'll spend more than 10% of conversations talking about other people's jobs. :D

The cafeteria food is not bad, and you should be cordial at all times and people will do good stuff for you if you do for them. Hospitals like to have people who reciprocate, even if it's only political, coz they make it run more efficiently than people who are always independent or who will only deal with like-minded individuals. So be open, kind, considerate. If you go out to eat, bring some back for others or take others with you.

Not everyone gets "dumped on" as so many t.v. shows and other people like to depict or complain. From what I've seen, it's people who dump a lot getting dumped on. So I hope you smile and joke a lot. :D

Don't be afraid to ask people there for references either, but be selective and make sure you have done a good job with them. Everyone there likes to be seen as the one who recommends someone good.
