Our Programmes
Discover the range of initiatives we offer to support widening participation in medicine at all levels.
School Mentoring Programme
Our school mentoring programme partners with educational institutions to provide group mentoring for students interested in pursuing careers in medicine and healthcare.
We work directly with schools and colleges to deliver structured group sessions led by medical students and healthcare professionals, creating supportive communities of aspiring medics.
Our structured curriculum helps students prepare for all aspects of the medical application process, including UCAT and BMAT exams, crafting effective personal statements, securing relevant work experience, and navigating the UK medical school application system.
Who can participate?
- Schools and colleges: Secondary schools with students in Years 10-13, sixth form colleges, and further education institutions.
