Hey! With your HCA role and current grades you’d be a strong fit for UEA. They’ve got a very supportive course, early clinical exposure, and they value applicants with hands-on healthcare experience. I’ve taught UEA medical students during my PhD and can say the teaching environment is excellent collaborative, well structured, and very focused on developing practical skills alongside academic knowledge. Your background would align really well with that.

Best of luck,
Daniel
