Annual virtual medical work experience programme

This programme has run since 2022 with excellent feedback, and has been expanded for this academic year to include webinars on interview preparation, the University clinical aptitude test (UCAT) commonly used by medical schools’ admissions teams, and University and College Admissions Service (UCAS) form completion.

The main summer programme includes clinical sessions, interactive simulations, guidance on how to apply for medical school and ‘tell it like it is’ testimonials from medical students and resident doctors. There is a high level of participation and reflection which helps with interview preparation as well as deciding on/against a career in medicine.

The virtual programme works alongside face-to-face work experience and is aimed at students who have just completed their GCSEs.
