Medics in-the-making is a not-for-profit project with a mission guided by the passion to eradicate issues causing the decline in the uptake of medicine, and other medical-related courses, by young people. It sets out to achieve this mission by working directly with children and young people in schools and communities around the UK, raising awareness of the importance of the profession to humanity, while uplifting its status.
Medics in-the-making is passionate about preserving the future of the NHS, ensuring that it is well-resourced with medical professionals who are equally passionate about delivering high quality services to all. We believe that health is wealth and so value the vital link between good health, and overall well-being, both personally, and for society.
It is no news that there has been a stark decline in the number of UK 18-year-olds applying to study medicine. The grave effect of this impending crisis, heading towards its peak, cannot be emphasised enough, with associated severe consequences to patient care now plaguing the government, our very dear NHS, organisations involved with medical applications and the medical field as a whole, not forgetting the uncertainties, fright and worries of the endearing citizens of the United Kingdom.
In reaction to this dire situation, the NHS has pleaded to 18-year-olds to become doctors, with its most senior doctor, Prof Sir Stephen Powis, calling on A-level students to consider a medical career. Simon Pedley, the Head of Product at The Medical Portal, in his summary of UCAS 2024 Application Data for Medicine states that the downward trend of the last few years in medical applications has continued. He further stated that the same woe begets the numbers of reapplications.
All of these findings call for great concern. Knowing that doctors play a pivotal role in society as they serve as guardians of health and wellbeing to citizens, it is then imperative that the future of this sector is preserved. Certainly, you would agree with me that the most crucial pillar of the NHS is its workforce which goes well beyond medical doctors to our endearing nurses, paramedics, physiotherapists, radiographers, and many more.
It is our duty to preserve the NHS and uplift the status of the medical profession in all of its varied roles. I am fully committed to achieving this and invite you to join me in this mission by visiting our Support page.
Long live NHS! Long live the medical profession!
