Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Trust is pleased to offer a visiting student electives programme to international undergraduate medical students and those from other UK medical schools who have completed a minimum of 4 years of a medical degree programme.

The fee for an elective period of up to 4 weeks is £200. In the event of a student cancelling their elective period, this fee is non-refundable. Please ensure you have read and understood the elective application procedures before submitting your application. The maximum stay for any elective student is four weeks (Up to 8 weeks may be acceptable in exceptional circumstances). A formal timetable will be allocated to each student, and this must be followed for the duration of their stay. The timetable encompasses both clinical and surgical sessions. The medical elective placement is purely observational and we are unable to provide audit and research project opportunities for students. There are resident teaching sessions that students and observers are welcome to attend, however at present we do not have a separate teaching programme dedicated for elective students. It is prohibited to copy or send images or files of any kind whilst on the Medical Elective at Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust or any and not excluding any of its satellite or outreach centres.

If any students are found to be in breach of this arrangement they are liable to have the remainder of their elective cancelled without notice or refund, and could face criminal proceedings

Before applying for our medical elective student programme, please call 020 7566 2428 or email electives@moorfields.nhs.uk to discuss before paying.
