A day on the wards

A new blog, Med School Life, attempts to portray the life of a student of Medicine at the University, on both a day to day basis and the lifestyle in general. Last week, Hannah shined the spotlight on a working day on the hospital wards while on placement. Talking one to one with patients, scrubbing up and helping in theatre, and lunchtime teaching is all part of the experience!

If you’re interested in studying Medicine with us, make sure to follow the blog as it develops and uncovers more on Med School Life!
