Student success stories

See why our students thrive

A very good placement, the facilities are excellent and the support I've had from the Medical Education Team has been amazing!

Former Student

I just finished my rotation at Tunbridge Wells and I just wanted to say a huge thanks for organising such a great placement for us. This was probably best placement at any hospital I've done in medical school so far, mainly thanks to the organisation from the med ed team and the willingness of all the staff to teach and really include us.

Former Student

I have chosen to rank MTW as my first choice because of the supportive environment I experienced during my final year of placements (acute care, long term conditions and TTF1). The education fellows and ward consultants all helped to create a great learning environment, and offered extra support with practical exams. I saw how the foundation doctors during my placements all built good working relationships with their seniors and their wider teams. All the SpRs and consultants were very happy to discuss foundation programme location choices with me, including reasons to prioritise picking a DGH over tertiary centres due to the learning opportunities available.

Former Student

I returned to the trust because my experience as a student at MTW highlighted the trust's emphasis on the importance of medical education, wellbeing for students and resident doctors, and the friendly environment. I thoroughly enjoyed my time as a student and this is why I wanted to come back!

Former Student

The reason I opted to return to MTW was due to the trust's prioritisation of medical education throughout training and the supportive atmosphere for foundation doctors. The friendliness and warm nature of their staff throughout the trust made this a very easy decision.
