The first responders scheme is true. There's a society you can join to become involved.
I haven't personally noticed a particularly high emphasis on emergency medicine. Though the first thing you do in year one is a four week unit called 'Emergencies', which is quite a good way to start the course. Not just because it's interesting, but a lot of the emergencies you'll discuss ('classical' ones like an M.I., pneumothorax, shock from low blood volume [hypovolaemic shock], etc.) require you to look at some of the fundamental principles you'll use throughout your entire medical life.
I've also read that the University Hospital of North Staffordshire (the hospital at which you'll spend most of your clinical attachments) is quite well known for excellence in trauma.
Just wondering if any of you went to keele open day and how you found it? Also do you know if the course is all PBL?

I have tried to do a lot of research and I am thinking of applying to Leeds and HYMS but not really sure about the other two. I don't want to apply to places where they have a cut off score but not sure which other ones to choose!
Random, but we have very similar academics ! I do Maths instead of RS though! Also if you don't mind me asking, to what extent did you mention your EPQ in your personal statement? Thanks

I had a relatively short paragraph explaining why research is good in medicine, what i was doing, and what i hoped to achieve from it, not more than 4 lines.
