A huge congratulations to Dr Emily Murden (Class of 2020), will graduate from Manchester University in July with a MBChB Medicine (Hons). Emily will soon begin her first resident doctor role in Newcastle, and we were delighted to welcome her back to school recently before she starts this exciting new chapter. During her visit, Emily delivered the first part of a PBL (Problem Based Learning) workshop to 17 of our Sixth Form students who are aspiring to careers in medicine. She has set them a group task to complete ahead of her second session. This style of learning is invaluable for students preparing for medical school interviews, UCAS applications, and choosing the right university.

Our students had plenty of questions for Emily ranging from A Level choices and work experience to university life and top tips for achieving a strong UCAT score. Thank you, Emily. It was a pleasure to have you back and your support is invaluable. The students always appreciate hearing from someone who sat in the very same labs not so long ago.

We wish you every success in your medical career - we know you’ll be amazing. Keep in touch, Emily!
