**Looking for a new Edinburgh University Representative**

Widening Participation Medics Network (WPMN) is a charitable organisation aiming to ensure doctors in every speciality are representative of society.

We do this by supporting and advocating for aspiring and current medical students from underrepresented groups. We are currently recruiting for medical students to join our team in four potential roles. Each role will give you team-working, leadership and project management skills at a local, regional and national level, as well as networking opportunities and a portfolio certificate.

If interested, please apply using the google form linked below:

Hello All,

Widening Participation Medics Network (WPMN) is inviting you to take part in this **national survey** looking at the challenges faced by medical students throughout medical school, to determine if WP students face additional challenges to their non-WP peers and if this ultimately impacts their academic performance. This will help us understand the challenges WP students face after admission to medical school and how we can better support WP students on a national scale.

The survey is open to all UK medical students and should take 5 - 10 minutes to complete. All personal data will be anonymised.

We really appreciate your participation.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch [email protected] !
