A free virtual conference for teachers and careers advisers who support students through the medicine application process. 

This programme is funded by Health Education England and delivered in collaboration with the Medical Schools Council. In addition to the conference, teachers and advisors are invited to follow-on events. In 2022, these focused on other allied healthcare professions and the admissions process.

• Unique opportunity to engage with all London’s medical schools; King’s College London, University College London, Imperial, Queen Mary University of London, and St George’s University of London.
• Learn how to best support and advise your student’s planning to apply to medicine.
• Find out about the medical student experience from current students across all partner institutions.
• Get your questions answered by outreach and admissions staff.

Teaching staff from non-selective state schools and colleges across England. Applicants outside of London and from areas with limited university outreach engagement are prioritised.

We encourage applications from schools located in disadvantaged communities (for example, POLAR4 quinitiles 1&2, Acorn groups L-Q, and IMD quintiles 1&2) and who’ve achieved below the national average Attainment 8 and Progress 8 scores at GCSE.

The main conference takes place during a day in spring term via Zoom. Additional events will take place in the summer term. We can provide financial support for the cost of supply cover.

Applications usually open in January/February each year dependent on successful MSc funding. The 2023 application form will be open soon and added to this webpage so please do check back.
