Sunday is arrival day for all students. We have several meeting/collection points as we have students from the UK and International students. The arrival locations are as follows:

1. Kings Cross Train Station – 5pm

2. Heathrow International Arrivals – 11am

3. Meet at the accommodation – Between 4:30pm-6pm

Our staff will be there to meet all students in-person. We will then have dinner before delivering our student induction, safety and safeguarding protocols. Students can then relax, meet all their fellow students and prepare for a busy week.

Monday is a jam packed hands-on work experience day. We cover some key first year medical school topics such as taking a patient history, A to E assessments as well as having a go at life-saving clinical skills. Students will also be introduced to the simulaiton suite and have their first medical scenario. We keep the scenarios secret so they are as close to a real life situation as possible, but they are all real A&E scenarios designed by our NHS Doctors.

Covered:

– How to take a patient history

– A to E assement in emergency situations

– Roles within an emergency situation

– Clinical skills – Intubation

– Tour of medical simulation suite

– First medical simulation

– Feedback from first medical simulation

– Daily debrief

Tuesday is all about applying to medical school and developing some more essential clinical skills. We cover all the essential areas of the medical school application process and teach students how to maximise their chances of gaining a place. We have current medical students from a wide variety of medical schools so students can ask about entry to their preferred medical schools.

Covered:

How to discuss your work experience correctly

Creating a winning personal statement

Entrance examinations – UCAT & BMAT

Clinical Skill – Manual Blood Pressure

Life as a medical student

Life as a Junior Doctor

The importance of medical ethics

Clinical Skill – Suturing

Clinical Skill – Scrubbing up for surgery

Wednesday sees students back in the simulation suite and we step up the medical scenarios. Students will be challenged with more complex medical scenarios such as anaphalaxis, ischemic strokes, pneumothorax etc. Students will be under pressure to work effectively as a medical team, take accurate and regular observations and deliver the appropriate treatments.

Thursday is Mock Interviews day. All students will sit a full Mock MMI under examination conditions. We use Doctors and Medical Students who have been on university interview panels. We recreate medical school interviews as closely as possible so students learn how they react under pressure, which is vital to performing well when it comes to the real inteviews.

All students will be provided personal feedback and detailed feedback sheets that can be taken home.

Covered:

Mock MMIs

Personal feedback

After their interviews, students will have allocated free time where they can explore around London with other students on the course. 

Friday is the last day in the simulation suite and we cover some advanced medical scenarios. Student will be taking on advanced A&E cases such as road traffic accidents, full cardiac arrests and other life-threatening traumas. We push students to these advanced levels so they truly understand the career they are considering and also to provide insight and experience they can’t find anywhere else. A real stand out for their medical school applications.

Covered:

Advanced causes of cardiac arrests: hypoxia, hypokalaemia/hyperkalaemia, hypothermia/hyperthermia, hypovolaemia, tension pneumothorax, tamponade, thrombosis, toxins.
