The future of The College of Medicine is bright; every year our Student Council brings together young medics and healthcare professionals in training who have a passion for integrated medicine and social prescribing.
Annually, we hold our student conference, which is open to all healthcare students studying a degree course in the UK.
Meet our current Student Council below – and follow them on Instagram for the latest updates…
