Testimonials

Highly hands on placement with great teaching in a supportive environment, would highly recommend Warwick RRM to other students

All the SMOs were so kind and willing to teach. Every person I came across recognised I was new and was interested to know who I was. It was a wonderful experience.

This placement was really good. I really enjoyed it. Great exposure to different areas of rural medicine and staff were very friendly.

I had a very positive experience at Warwick, everyone was welcoming and friendly and I was given many opportunities to learn on the job. I highly recommend Warwick for an RRM placement!
