Expert advice for Halifax students wanting to study medicine and dentistry
Students at a Halifax school are taking part in an exclusive medicine and dentistry programme.
Thanks to North Halifax Grammar School’s (NHGS) partnership with Medology, sixth formers will have access to expert advice and guidance from working doctors and dentists and current undergraduates training in these prestigious fields.
Medology is a leading organisation in the UK and internationally, with a mission to "nurture future and current doctors, dentists, and leaders — providing guidance and community that help them flourish in who they are and what they do”.
The programme begins in Year 12 and will take NHGS students through the application process, personal statements, work experience, UCAT and interviews.
Mr Deehan, NHGS headteacher, said: “This partnership places NHGS Sixth Form as the foremost post-16 centre for medicine-related careers.
"Our students now and in the future will have unprecedented access to industry professionals and a level of guidance and support unequalled anywhere else.”
Amin Hashmi, chief executive officer at Medology, added: “It’s an incredible honour to be working so closely with a school that has a vision and ethos which is so sincerely dedicated to the wellbeing of young people.
“To play a small part in guiding the development of these future global leaders on their journey is a blessing and I can’t wait to see how they all grow over the coming years.”
One of the Year 12 students attending the programme said: “I really enjoyed the thorough details they went into and everything they explained, making it easy to understand.”
