Introduction
Welcome to Experience Medicine with Lifelab Online!
We have a packed programme of activities for you over the next 6 sessions which I am sure you will enjoy and give you a real taste of what it is like to be a medical student or work in a hospital. Your journey to medicine starts here.
During the event you will see and hear about all things medical, and some students can find it a little overwhelming at first. If you feel unwell or upset by anything during the event, please do let us know.
We have an incredible team lined up to work with you including doctors, scientists, and some fantastic student ambassadors. Make sure you ask them as many questions as you can while you are here.
Finally, all that is left to say is this is the beginning of your journey to finding out about becoming a doctor – love it, live it, and have a wonderful experience!
The escape room is a fun little task to get you started.
