Exciting news... we are hosting a FREE online event for students to connect with Medical Doctors of African/Caribbean Heritage. Attend to gain inspiration from our panel of excellent doctors and learn more about life after medical school. Spread the news!

We are today issuing a public apology for UCL’s history and legacy of eugenics. UCL played a fundamental role in the development, propagation and legitimisation of eugenics. We deeply regret this and apologise. ucl.ac.uk/news/2021/jan/…

Good luck to all final year medical students who have their SJTs coming up! You got this ✨

Important update...

ACMS ESSAY COMPETITION! We are launching an essay competition in which we want you to highlight a medical problem that disproportionally affects the African-Caribbean community in the UK. The essay should highlight possible solutions HCPs can take to help alleviate this problem.

The brutality that ensued was not only grossly indefensible, but completely senseless. There is nothing more devastating than seeing violence and bloodshed in response to peaceful fights for justice and pleas for a better future. Where is the humanity? #EndSarsNow

After everything o #endsars

#EndSARS has created a moment of reckoning in Nigeria. What did it take to push young Nigerians to create this movement, and what do they hope to see next? 🎧 Listen to @AJTheTake 👇 aje.io/hfkpu

DID YOU KNOW... Dr James Samuel Risien Russell (1863-1839), the first black British consultant and a renowned neurologist, worked at our very own UCL and Queen's Square Hospital! #BlackHistoryMonth

This government U-turn is welcomed. However, it will be interesting to see how this affects students that missed their offers for Medicine due to being downgraded.
