Most Year 12 students struggle to find hospital placements. Very few are advertised, and the ones that exist fill up fast. The good news is that UK medical schools do not require a hospital placement. They want proof that you understand what the job involves and that you can reflect on what you saw.
That is why this free conference exists. In one day you get a live virtual ward round with UK doctors, clinical terms explained in plain English, and real cases to reflect on, plus a certificate of attendance you can list on your application.
