This year I was lucky enough attend Medlink. For those who don’t know Medlink is a large conference/ experience for A level students considering a career in medicine. Medlink is held at Nottingham University each year and lasts for four fantastic and exhilarating days where you get the chance to meet medical professionals as well as spending four days just like a medical student
.
So What Did We do?
All the days basically were from 9:15ish to 10:15, which are long but the lectures are so interesting you will never get board. Each day consisted of about 10 lectures which covered a range of topics from medical school applications, surgery, A&E, pre-emergency care and so on. Most lectures were about 45minutes and they were jam packed with information from the professionals.
There was also 2 hours of patient, ophthalmoscope, otoscope and stethoscope skills. I felt this was good but we should have got more time on these clinical skills.
The Edge Session-a must have extra.
This session was run by James Ridgeway, and was absolutely saturated with incredible information which will no doubt be some of the most useful information I will ever hear, it was so good I wrote five and a half A4 pages of notes. I have also never felt so much enthusiasm and passion from one person about helping us get into medical school. If there one thing that you shouldn’t miss it’s the edge session!
Since I didn’t get a chance to at the session could I please just say a huge thank you to James for inspiring me so much.
What I have gained from the experience
Medlink was a brilliant experience and I have learnt loads on different aspects of medicine, different routes on how to get into med school and most importantly it has helped make the decision to go for medicine 100%.
So on that note, all I can say is a massive thank you to the Medlink Team.
