Student Views

I’m set on paediatrics at the moment but, in four years’ time, I might decide I want to be a diabetes specialist or something else. I want to keep my options open and take all the opportunities I can.

I’ve never met a disabled doctor before, but being at Edge Hill has helped me to think that, not only can I do it, but I deserve to be there.
