Blackpool Teaching Hospitals is proud to have an established Medical Society programme that is open to all 14+ high school age young people from the Fylde Coast.
If you’re interested in a career in medicine (a doctor for example), then Blackpool Teaching Hospital’s Medical Society is the place for you.
Being a part of our society will enable you to build contacts with local doctors and enhance your application to medical school. You will even receive a certificate of attendance to showcase in your application!
The society meets virtually every month, with a further 3 in-person sessions throughout the year. We welcome guest speakers to the sessions who provide insights into what a career in medicine entails.
Who can apply? If you are interested, aged 14+ and live in the local area, please email Julie Summers.
