Dilemma 1

Can I let school students sit in?

Q I work as a private GP. My nephew, a sixth-form student, is considering studying medicine at university and has asked if he could have a week’s work experience at my private GP practice in the school holiday.

I would really like to help my nephew by giving him experience of his possible chosen career path, but I am unsure if it would be allowed.
