Radiography Student Electives, Work Experience and Professional Placements: Volunteer and Study Abroad with Work the World

General Info

Our radiography student elective placements have been developed in cooperation with The Society and College of Radiographers. We offer you:

* A guaranteed clinical placement, organised by our professional staff in your chosen country.
* Freedom to choose your preferred specialities, arrival and departure dates.
* Placement supervision throughout your time at the hospital.
* Extensive pre-departure support from your dedicated project manager, with advice on visa's, support letters and general preparation.
* Meals and secure, comfortable accommodation in a large Work the World house.
* In country support from our well-trained, local staff
* No hassle - we cut through all the red tape so that you can arrive and get stuck straight in.

Our placements take in a variety of different elements of both diagnostic and therapeutic radiography, working with x-ray, CT, ultrasound, MRI and fluoroscopy. We have placements in large regional hospitals, private clinics, teaching hospitals and specific radiography schools.

If you spend more than four weeks away with us, we may be able to split your placement across hospitals or arrange for you to join one of our Village Experiences to give you a broader view of healthcare in your chosen country.

Read more about potential clinical specialities for each destination through the links on the website and don't forget - if yours is not listed then call us. We can often arrange something suitable.

At each of our destinations we have a large, secure Work the World house which will be your home for the duration of your placement. As well as providing a social hub for like-minded people, they include large comfortable bedrooms and spacious communal areas in which to relax during the evenings and weekends. The accommodation is consistently deemed a highlight of many people's trip.

Each house has it's own team of staff employed from the local community, with an onsite caterer and housekeeper working together to keep everything clean, tidy and well run. Delicious meals are provided throughout the day, and the kitchen is always open for snacks and fresh drinking water. Specific dietary requests are always catered for.
