Have you ever thought about becoming a doctor? 

LifeLab would like to invite pupils currently in Years 9, 10 and 11 who are interested in finding out more about becoming a doctor to attend our Summer School on 25th and 26th July 2024.

Participants will spend two days at University Hospital Southampton where they will gain experience of what it is like to train and work as a doctor.

To increase the participants’ confidence, enthusiasm and skills in teaching undergraduate medical students.

At the end of this workshop participants will 

• Have a clearer idea of the aims and learning outcomes of primary medical care and how this fits into the overall medical curriculum
• Reflected on ways in which they can help the students learn
• Considered ways of giving feedback to students
• Have had the opportunity to meet with the coordinators and colleagues from other practices to exchange ideas and share good practice

Effective and meaningful patient and public involvement is essential to the design and delivery of health and social care research. But what is it, why do we do it, how do we do it effectively and what does good and inclusive involvement look like? 

Brought to you by Agora Digital Centre, this in person course will provide you with answers and equip learners with the necessary basic knowledge and skills to do it effectively.

This interactive and practical course begins by introducing learners to what is meant by patient and public involvement and its value in research. It goes on to:

• Explore patient and public involvement throughout the research lifecycle
• Consider equality, diversity and inclusion in patient and public involvement
• Explain the UK public involvement standards and apply them to research scenarios
