Hey everyone
I've just started year 12 and I will be apply for Medicine next year. This summer I did 2 weeks work experience at my local Lloyds Pharmacy (I was unable to get any hospital based work experience in the summer), during the coming October half-term I will be doing a weeks work experience at my local GP surgery.
In november I will be doing two week work experience at my local hospital and next year I am planning to attend the UCL hospital summer school week which involves work experience and medicine based seminars etc.
I also plan to do a months work experience next summer at a nursing home possibly and during the course of year 13 I will be volunteering once a week at my local hospital. (I have already contacted my hospital and they are ready to take me at any time)
To recap, these are my planned work experiences -
1. Lloyds Pharmacy (2 weeks)
2. GP surgery (1 week)
3. Hospital work Experience (2 weeks)
4. UCL Hospital work experience course (1 week)
5. Nursing home (possibly? 1 month)
6. Hospital weekly volunteering (at least 5 months)
I am hoping to apply to Imperial, UCL, Kings College London and Queen Mary. I somewhat chose to do some work experience at a pharmacy since my 5th UCAS option will be Pharmacology.
would my planned work experience suffice as a good show of my dedication in becoming a medic?
Any advice or work experience suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
