Essay Competition - Medicine.

Our Dean for Education has just passed this on to me, for any of you budding doctors who would like a chance to win £500. This could also help hone your skills for interview questions in the future ...


Essay competition on the future of health care

The General Medical Council is holding an essay competition open to all 16-18 year olds.

The question is: ‘What will doctors be doing by 2050?'

We are looking for essays full of ideas, inspiration and new perspectives, that are good enough for publication, fun to read and less than 2000 words.

Each entry must start with up to five bullet points that summarise the essay.

The prizes include £500 for the winner with £100 each for the five competitors who follow up. The GMC is exploring opportunities for publication of the winning essay.

The deadline for entries is 31 August 2004 .

All entries must be submitted electronically to [email protected].

hmm..18 now, but i'd be 19 by the closing date..i suppose i'd be ineligible.. *sulk*

anyway, sure i should find some things between now & then to occupy my time.. (exams, perhaps?!) sounds like quite a good essay to do though..

Oh to be 19 again

It's pretty crap actually. But then again maybe thats just me. I'll give someone else a chance at the money....

Good point! I've managed to glaze over how shite my life was at 19! DOH! May be 29 will be better
