LifeLab Medical Summer School

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 23rd and 24th July 2025.

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.

Participants will have the chance to:

• Learn how to perform clinical skills such as suturing and practice these on a model
• Experience anatomy and pathology teaching
• Talk to medical students about training as a doctor and find out how the application process works
• Listen to our keynote speaker talking about life in medicine
• Talk to doctors about their role

Reserving a place
The two-day course costs £150. All food and drink is included, but participants need to make their own transport arrangements.

Accommodation is not included.

Places are allocated on a first come, first served basis.
After completing the booking process and making payment, you will receive an information pack by email.
