Preparation

Don’ts – General

  • Don’t turn up late
  • Don’t turn up with a dirty uniform looking unprofessional
  • Don’t forget all your paperwork required to complete the placement
  • Don’t expect to have set lunch breaks or leave on time every day
    • You may work 9am-5pm, or you may be put on the practice rota
    • Be prepared to stay for any emergencies (you can learn a huge amount from them and not appearing to want to do ‘out of hours’ work may give a bad impression)
    • If you need to leave early (e.g. doctor’s appointment), ask and let someone know
