GP PRACTICES: COULD YOUR PRACTICE HOST A STUDENT NURSE PLACEMENT?

The University of Sunderland is seeking GP practices in North East London to host Year 3 Blended Nursing students for a spoke placement between 8 December 2025 and 18 January 2026 (with a two-week break over the festive period).

Hosting a student nurse provides an excellent opportunity to:

• Support the next generation of nurses in primary care
• Showcase general practice as a vital part of community learning
• Strengthen links between local practices and higher education institutions

If your practice has the capacity to host a nursing student during this period, please get in touch with NEL Training Hub at thgpcg.neltraininghub@nhs.net.

We would also encourage Practice Managers to share this opportunity within their local nursing networks to help identify suitable placements.
