Temporary Pause on Elective Medical Student Applications

Dear colleagues,

For the attention of all staff, we would like to inform you that applications for elective medical student placements have been temporarily paused.

As a Trust, we remain fully committed to supporting medical education. However, due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, we are currently experiencing a significant increase in demand for elective placements from our existing partner universities. As a result, we are not able to accept additional applications at this time.

We hope to review this position in the new academic year. Until then, if you are contacted directly by a medical student seeking to arrange an elective placement, please kindly direct them to the Undergraduate Curriculum Team undergradstaps@lthtr.nhs.uk, who will provide further information regarding the temporary pause.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
