These are normally a week's placement and there are relevant forms to complete on the website before applying. The work experience is open to anyone, and is from 9am to 1pm each day being in the small animal hospitals whether that be at Dalston or Newbiggin.
Paragon welcomes all students although the calendar can become quite busy so please make your request as early as you can.
