Student placements

The Centre for Nursing Education facilitates approximately 2,000 clinical placements for undergraduate nursing students at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital each year.

Students are supported through the allocation of a SCGH registered nurse on each ward during their placement. This provides a sustainable and consistent clinical facilitation framework, with specialist expertise and experience at the ward level.

Medical Education (MedEd) supports thousands of student placements each year for local, interstate and overseas students as well as offering an educational experience for secondary students interested in the health professions, and for researchers exploring the clinical aspects of their work. All placements depend on the capacity of supervisors, patients and the hospital but we will work with you to arrange a relevant and appropriate experience.
