Practical Information

Consider the following practical information when you follow a clinical training. 

  •  A deposit of 15 Euro is required for the locker you have to rent in the hospital. After the clinical training you get the money back.
  • Required vaccinations: Hepatitis B virus v., Tetanus v. and BCG test (Bacillus Calmette – Guerin test)
  • You can wear the white uniform from your home institution.
  • We expect you to work in the clinical field: nurses will help you but a certain degree of independence is necessary if you want to do this clinical training in our institution.
  • We recommend that you have a basic knowledge of the Dutch language.

In order to prepare your training we ask you to send your answers to Mrs Anne Deschamps.

  • In which unit/ward are you interested to have your clinical experience?
  • What are your skills (theoretical and practical background)?
  • What kind of clinical field did you already experienced?
  • How many days a week do you have: to work on the ward and to be free for report/study?
  • Do you have to work during Christmas/Easter holidays?
  • In what language(s) are you able to communicate?
