North Bristol Trust (NBT)

North Bristol Trust (NBT) offers a huge range of clinical placements, giving you the chance to hone your skills in your specialist area and stand out to future employers. Many of our student nurses, midwives and health professions students find their clinical experience invaluable – and most choose to work at NBT after qualifying.

"We really value our close, collaborative relationship with UWE Bristol, where many of our clinical staff have studied. The partnership means that we can offer students excellent hands-on experience and wide-ranging employment opportunities in one of the South West’s biggest hospitals, as well as providing our existing staff with ongoing professional learning and development."
