For many, reflecting on student life brings back the fondest memories from the start of an exciting journey leading to general practice. We want to ensure this is the case for as many students as possible and we need your help.
With the generous support of our members we hope to establish the Student Development Fund to support a wide range of student-led initiatives such as:
- Engaging activities to promote general practice as a career such as a Cardiff based GP Society who led a promotional event titled ‘Looking ahead: What will General Practice entail in 2021?’ and another Keele based GP Society led one of their own called ‘GP Careers Speed Dating & Mentoring’
- Diversity, inclusivity and widening participation via student-led groups. One such group set up to tackle this very issue is ‘Widening Access to Medicine’ Society (WAM Soc)
- Accessing training and educational opportunities such as funding student-led research projects and individual RCGP annual conference attendance
- Purchasing Equipment, in particular for those in need of financial support to purchase medical equipment to be used for GPSoc, OSCE, revision and clinical skills sessions
