The student attends university 2 days and 3 days of operational placement within the directorate/Health Boards/Welsh Government, per week during term time and 5 days a week during university holidays less annual leave. The FP&D benefits from a motivated person who will develop into a valuable member of staff, through academic learning alongside practical work experience and clear objectives.
