Thank you to the MED17 students Salonie, Sheryl, Shiva and Tushar for making our virtual "Phase 2 LEP Experience Talk" on the 3rd of July a huge success! Over 50 students from MED19 tuned in to see the honest first-hand opinions of each hospital base. The students that attended gave an overwhelmingly positive feedback with particular mentions to the brilliant speakers, the useful resources and revision techniques for phase 2. We are very glad to hear that the students attending felt more informed and better prepared for the next stages in the medical school!

Hello Everyone,

Please see the message below regarding a national survery from Rohan Pancharatnam who is our UBMS SPICE-19 Representative:

An important study on the effects of COVID19 on the mental health and wellbeing of medical students and interim foundation doctors is currently underway. If you could spare 15 minutes to complete an anonymised questionnaire, that would be greatly appreciated!

The results from the study will create awareness about particular struggles that are faced by medical students particularly during this time and how best the government and Universities can address this. The University of Buckingham will also receive its own anonymised results, in order to address concerns specifically here.

Thank you for your time! :)

Interesting read. Professor Helen Stokes-Lampard, outgoing RCGP chair, was the first to mention the initiative.

The days of GPs and specialists being registered separately by the General Medical Council may be over.

Second day of our Mock OSCE practice complete ✅ some amazing feedback!

✨ All but one feedback rated the event a 10/10 for satisfaction and that they felt better prepared. In "The Best Part of the Session" feedback section, answers mainly revolved around the 1-minute feedback at the end of each station which students found valuable.
On "Improvements", answers were mainly: "perfect as it is" and "more stations"
"Other Comments" include: very well organized, stations were representative of real OSCE, examiners were professional. ✨

Our examiners will get their teaching tickets verified by Professor Greg Simons on their E-portfolio and certificates within the next week. Thank you everyone for another oversubscribed and successful event!
