    Hi

    Can any students tell me if they are doing a gynae ward placement within their degree and if so how many hours are the placements for.

    Also is this an NMC requirement or are the universities requirements.

    Thanks

    I'm sure I remember hearing that in the direct entry course you must do Xhours 'general' most unis use gynae for this, however some use A&E etc - I think I had 6 weeks gynae in second year (may have been 4 or 8 though)

    We usually have two weeks of general, which could be gynae, but I think we get to pick.

    We've also got 3 weeks of A&E. Gynae was the most boring 2 weeks of my life and the nurses weren't particularly welcoming but I am looking forward to A&E.

    We do four weeks on gynae, then four weeks on general medical placement either clinics or wards.
    I've just finished gynae and really enjoyed it - much more than AN Clinic!!
