3) Medical Ethics Live, on Sunday the 7th April 2024. It's vital to understand medical ethics when applying to med school and how to understand moral dilemmas and ethical questions doctors face everyday. It's highly likely that you'll be asked ethics questions or face an MMI station designed to test your understanding of medical ethics so it's really important you understand some of the questions you will face at medical school interviews. Students just need to register here.

4) Surgery Work experience Live taking place on Sunday 21st April 2024. This interactive day is designed to give students a meaningful insight into careers in medicine and surgery. Students join a patient on their journey from initial presentation to diagnosis and treatment. The doctors will guide you through how they would conduct a surgical consultation, interpret signs and manage patients. All the details available here.

5) Suture Like A Surgeon online Course.  Sunday 12th May 2024. Join our suturing masterclass where you will learn how surgeons effectively manage and assess acute wounds with suture closure. You will be sent our suture kit in the mail before the course starts so you can suture along with the doctors, learning first hand the various techniques needed to be a surgeon. You can view all the course info here.

All courses have been created by doctors and provide outstanding work experience for you to use in your applications to medicine. If you can, we'd love to see you there.
