What's surgery like?
How we can help
Opportunities in Surgery run a series of workshops and events to support students wanting to become surgeons. We run events in London in collaboration with the Hunterian Museum and outside of London we run regional events. These events are aimed at year 12 students interested in medicine.
To find out if we are running any events in your area please email: if you are a surgeon or medical student interested in getting involved with the schools programme please see the section on getting involved
Aside from the information on getting into medical school on our website you may find these resources useful.
- The British Medical Association: ‘becoming a doctor’ is a useful resource, the medical A-Z is also a good source of information.
- The Bright Journals: A fantastic resource for all areas from application, keeping up to date with latest stories, profiles of medical students etc. Key area is the Library.
- Student BMJ: Useful to keep up to date with ‘Medical’ stories
- UCAS: For information relating to specific courses, and online application.
- Aimhigher: For information on funding, grants/loans etc
- BBC: For current affairs
- So you want to be a doctor is a great website giving you more information about everything you need to know before applying to medical school
