Abstract
Each year, from June to August, the Nuffield Research Placements (NRP) scheme offers sixth form pupils funding to gain a four- to six-week science research placement at a participating institution. Margaret MacDougall, a medical statistician and researcher in education at the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine in Edinburgh, gives an insight into hosting one of these students and what it entails.
