Undergraduate Medical Education
Our Undergraduate Medical Education team supports medical undergraduates in training and provides an integrated teaching programme in the speciality of Paediatrics.
Most medical students are from University of Liverpool and Edge Hill University and University of Central Lancashire, along with other visiting or elective students from other medical schools in the UK and overseas.
Our vision is to offer students the highest standards of medical education to meet the future needs of patients and ensure that they have the skills and knowledge to provide exceptional care.
All Medical Student attachments must be organised via the Undergraduate Office to fulfil the necessary Employer/Employee Liability requirements and to ensure that students who attend Alder Hey for training achieve their full potential.
Our current Medical Student elective places are now all full until summer 2023. Please contact us early to ensure a place is guaranteed.
Please note these attachments are electives only and last a maximum of five weeks. Electives MUST NOT be part of your formal training in Paediatrics, and all students are usually required to have completed their formal paediatric training at their medical school.
