Welcome to Young Civitas For Medics
As medical students we are unaware of what our futures will be like. We have very little understanding about how we will work, what we will be doing, what our working lives will involve.
In particular, all of us will be working for the NHS and yet we have little knowledge about how the health system works. We have an idea, but is that enough to enable us to deliver the highest quality health care to our patients?
- Want to know how the NHS has evolved?
- Want to understand how it works and the powers behind the policy?
- Want to learn how we can improve the way we practice medicine?
We do. A group of medical students have formed Young Civitas for Medics, an independent society supported by the social policy think tank, Civitas, which aims to engage medical students in debates about the future of health care, develop critical thinking skills and better prepare you for a lifetime in medicine. Nikki Chow, one of the student members of our steering group, explains.
Join us (it's FREE!) to come along to discussions led by high-profile figures in health care; to debate our future and have a say.
On the top menu you can find more information about us and about the NHS; along with details of how to join and attend our forthcoming events.
