We asked our year 6 students on their General Practice Student Assistantship to submit photographs that they had taken while on their placements. In year 6 students go on placements all over the United Kingdom, you can see a selection of the photos below:
Here is a photo from my placement in Belfast. The surgery is located just by the top of the famous Shankill Road separating the loyalist and republican areas of the city. This is a photo of the adjacent peace wall (viewed from the Protestant side) that was built to quell some of the conflict during The Troubles. My GP was quite Protestant/loyalist skewed but I have also included a photo of a practice on the other side of the wall which is very Catholic/republican. It says family doctor in Irish.

Seal spotting with Dr Herfurt and Jean the retired district nurse
The owner of Armadale house where I stayed for the placement
I took the first one on my last day of placement since it was the last day of placements ever, and the 2nd and 3rd are from an idea I had to help Dr Kim’s covid vaccine project by using a Bristol Drugs Project needle exchange van as a mobile vaccine clinic to reach vaccine hesitant areas!
