Our local MP and practising NHS mental health doctor, Dr Dan Poulter, was delighted to join the inaugural #IWantToWorkinMedicine day, at Suffolk One in Ipswich.
Organised by Suffolk & North East Essex Integrated Care System (ICS), the event was an opportunity for potential students to learn everything they need to know about applying for a place in medical school.
Dr Poulter delivered the opening remarks, talking about his experience as a doctor and why it is such a rewarding careers, before the young students were then able to learn more about the steps required in applying for a place in medicine and other pathways into medicine.
The day was a huge success and feedback from the young people attending was incredibly positive.
