Ways to Get Involved
Whether you're a student, healthcare professional, educator, or supporter, there are many ways you can contribute to our mission.
Share your knowledge and experience with groups of aspiring medical students. Our school mentoring programme connects medical students and doctors with schools and colleges to provide group mentoring sessions, helping students prepare for UCAT/BMAT exams, personal statements, work experience, and the UK medical application process.
Help us run our workshops, conferences, and outreach sessions. Volunteers play a crucial role in ensuring our events run smoothly and have maximum impact.
Share your expertise by contributing to our learning resources. We welcome revision materials, guides, and educational content from medical students and professionals.
Support our work financially. Your donations help us expand our programmes, reach more students, and create more opportunities for underrepresented groups in medicine.
Establish a partnership between your organization and FWPM. We collaborate with schools, universities, healthcare institutions, and other organizations to maximize our impact.
Bring our mentoring programme to your school or college. We partner with educational institutions to provide group mentoring for students interested in pursuing careers in medicine, offering expert guidance on UCAT/BMAT preparation, personal statements, work experience, and navigating the medical application process.
