Placement locations

Trainees are currently employed by Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust for the duration of their training. Core placements are located in Coventry, Warwickshire, Worcestershire and Herefordshire, and trainees will be expected to travel to placements in locations right across this geographical area. To reduce travel, it is therefore helpful if trainees live within this area. Furthermore, as public transport is very limited in some places, a current driving licence and car/motorcycle ownership or other independent means of transport is essential except for where reasonable adjustments apply.
