Hi, I’m a year 11 student who has volunteered at a primary school and have finished my work experience at a cafe. Do you think I would need any more work experience or would I be able to relate these to why I want to do medicine in my personal statement?

Hi! Any relevant experience in a hospital or GP practice is helpful, not only to talk about in Medicine interviews, but also for yourself to know that this is definitely right for you! Contacting places and asking for work experience then following through shows Universities that you will go out of your way to follow your passion for medicine. Good luck with everything!
