Student Ratings & Reviews
It gave me a good insight into difference between the roles of an obstetrician and a gynaecologist. I also learnt about the importance of communication and listening skills when taking a patient's history and new terminologies like ICE and gestational diabetes which I went on to research and read more about.
The experience was very informative and enjoyable.
Thanks for the insight into gynaecology and obstetrics!
This course was very fascinating and guided me through each step making it easy to learn and understand
So informative and gives you a really good insight on just one of the many specialties built from medicine.
Yes, this was a good match for me. Having a younger sibling, this really helped me.
It was an Insightful and enhancing experience that reaffirmed my decision to follow a career in medicine.
It was quite eye opening to see a women's entire journey into labour and to witness the many specialists and doctors involved in which they all are able to work together as a team while playing specialised roles. It was incredibly useful and I have made pages of notes which just shows the vast amount of knowledge that is carried. I am sure its just as helpful for others and I am excited to progress through all the work experiences provided!
I really liked the layout of the programme and how the information was given out
it was a very good course, I learnt alot about this side of healthcare and it gave a great insight into how multi disciplinary teams work together
I was not expecting to get much out of this work experience but I actually learnt a lot from it. For example I never knew there were so many steps with doctors when going through pregnancy, I always thought you go when your having complications, at the beginning of the pregnancy and when you start getting contractions. It was really interesting to learn how midwifes have special equipment to actually move the baby into position and how the NHS look after a women during pregnancy and after with her mental health. It was also interesting to learn that even if somebody has an illness like schizophrenia then they are still able to become pregnant while still caring for their health.
I feel like it was quite interesting to see more of what happens behind the scenes when working with pregnant women and how to approach them
The clinical setting is fabulous and realistic that I learn lots of communication skills in Obstetrics & Gynaecology settings. Sometimes, it is hard to know the conversation but I can hear it clearly after replaying it. Some of the questions and answers are great for me to dwell on to improve my interview. Overall, it is fantastic and thanks for making this programme
Throughout the course, I felt like I could talk about the medications and feelings to the patient. I enjoyed how at the start, the process was a little bit tense even though there was laughter often, but at the end, everything just cooled down. It was like I was with the patient in her journey from visiting the hospital to delivery which was quite an enjoyable experience for me.
It was definitely a good course for me. I did child development for GCSE. Having a virtual representation of all that I had previously learnt and more as well as having that focus into the aspect of medicine and how professionals tend to both the mother and child during pregnancy and child birth is worthwhile.
Amazing experience would definitely recommend only downside is any of the recordings when they are in the hospital the audio is very bad and is very hard to make out what’s being said if captions were available would be a better experience.
It was amazing to see the in depth experience of OBGYN life as a doctor!
It was an amazing simulation that offered a really deep insight into medicine as well as the roles of doctors within a team and the autonomy patient has over their treatment plan
I think this course was really good and very informative and gave much insight into the lives of the Obs & Gyn teams. However, the audio was quite unclear most of the time which was a bit disappointing.
Loved this incredible insight into gynaecology
