Not only did we get to visit loads of hospitals and care centres in and around London, but we also got the opportunity to visit a pathology lab and dissection room as well as talk to medical students at various universities..”

Every morning, we’ll provide a continental buffet breakfast for you with fresh fruit, pastries, fresh juices, cereals and everything in between. This is available from 07:30 am each morning.

Whether you’re exploring medicine for the first time or aiming to expand your knowledge, this course is designed to immerse you in the world of healthcare with engaging, hands-on learning experiences. Join us each week, and start building the confidence and skills that future medical careers demand! Here’s a sample itinerary for the week, your exact itinerary will be sent to you 2 weeks before you start but this should give you an idea of how a 2 week course will look:
Sunday – You will be collected at London Heathrow Airport by our friendly Project Leaders and transferred to the accommodation with all of the other arrivals. You will then have a couple of hours to unpack, freshen up and get to know your roommate before everyone gets together for Project briefing. During the briefing, we will talk you through everything you need to know, from meal times to curfews and the all-important Wi-Fi password. Then it’s time for our first family feast!
Monday – A fascinating opportunity for all students interested in medical careers- the chance to spend the day in the dissection room in Central London. During the morning, you will receive a tutorial on brain anatomy from one of the world’s leading authorities on neuroanatomy. Using medically donated brain specimens, you will gain a deeper understanding of the human brain and how we can begin to comprehend it. In the afternoon you’ll be ‘hands-on’ with practical sessions in the dissection room. These will provide an exciting and unique opportunity to examine preserved human brain specimens and cadavers
Tuesday – It’s time to learn all about palliative care, spending the day with nurses and GPs in a private nursing home & hospice situated in North London.
Wednesday – At NHS Kings College Hospital you’ll be part of our A&E and GP Surgery Day. You’ll be faced with emergency scenarios in the A&E department, utilising a SIM mannequin with actors playing the part of other members of the A&E department who will guide you in managing these patients – or, they may be there to distract you, as often occurs in reality. Your afternoon is in GP Surgery to better your understanding of primary care. You will have the opportunity to observe consultations as well as get involved in taking histories. You will be assessed on your communication skills with the patients.
Thursday – Back at NHS Kings College Hospital for Ward Round and Radiology Day. In the morning, you’ll take part in a realistic ward round scenario with doctors, patient actors, and nursing staff as part of the multidisciplinary team. For the afternoon, we’ll concentrate on Radiology Immersion. You’ll learn about the most common diagnostic modalities and explore the life of a radiologist with scan interpretation.
Friday – You will spend the day at one of London’s best medical schools learning how to write the perfect personal statement to ensure you get an interview, and how to impress the panel to secure your space in medical school. The day will be led by Junior doctors and third-year medical students who have all sat on medical school interview panels, so they really know what they’re talking about.
Saturday & Sunday– Yay for the weekend! Have a lie-in. You’ve earned it, but don’t waste too much time as there is so much to do in London. Shopping in Covent Garden, a musical in the west end… speak to your Project Leaders, and they will make sure you make the most of your free time!
Monday – Back to work! The first step to saving lives is to become a qualified first aider! At the end of today, you will be first aid certified for three years (that looks pretty good on your applications to university!).
Tuesday – Today we will visit one of London’s largest University Hospitals. The morning will be spent in a lecture from the university’s lead Neurologist. In the afternoon, you will be able to participate in a super exciting practical session which is otherwise reserved for a very small amount of the university’s current medical students.
Wednesday – After a hearty breakfast, we will travel to an NHS University Hospital in Central London. You will learn everything from hospital safety to dealing with agitated patients. You will also be introduced to clinical skills such as cannulation, blood glucose monitoring and subcutaneous injection, to name just a few! Don’t forget to take your notebook!
Thursday – You will spend the day with a head researcher for one of the country’s largest medical research teams, learning about their impressive work and running your own laboratory tests. Then it’s back to the accommodation for a delicious dinner followed by a movie night in the cinema room…sweet or salty?
Friday – Today you’ll have a unique opportunity to have access that no other med school applicant can, with hands-on experience in a London hospital, this time focused on Cancer research.
Saturday – It’s time to say goodbye. We’ll arrange your transfers to Heathrow Airport to make sure you get home safely, or you are welcome to be collected from the accommodation and just like that, you’ve had an action-packed time exploring medicine, armed with all the knowledge you need to gain a place at med school, with a tonne of experience and references to back it up too.
The project is for all students aged 14-18 who are interested in careers in medicine. Students attend from all over the world for our summer courses in London.
” To say I had a good time in London would be an understatement, it was a fabulous opportunity for me to learn all about careers in medicine and gain work experience. They offer a well rounded experience where you will get to spend time with doctors, see medical procedures, volunteer, meet medical students and visit medical schools, pretty much everything you would need to give you the best chance of becoming a doctor. “
