Hi! New to TSR. I'm a 2nd Year MChem student at warwick and I want to do GEM. So far, I've secured a one day placement in radiology at coventry hospital and a 6 week research project in biomedical sciences this summer. I'm trying to secure a 50 hour care home work experience at the moment. Would this be enough (work experience wise) for a competitive entry to graduate entry medicine? (My current options are Cambridge, queen mary's, newcastle and southampton)
If not, could you advise me on what to do? I'm really struggling with other shadowing placements because my local area trust and GP have refused to offer anyone work experience since December 2017 and it hasn't changed since. I've applied to the list of NHS London hospitals on the Wikipedia list during Christmas 2017 and I have either been rejected, no answer or they have already stated they only take people in living in their area. No one in my family or friends has worked in this industry so I have no connections and I cannot afford the medical work experience programs (the ones where you have to pay £x to go on the course).
