When booking, you will see that we invite attendees to make a gift in support of students currently studying Medicine at Christ’s. Many of you will be aware that the financial pressures of attending university are particularly acute for medical students. We are committed to offering them as much support as possible for bursaries (especially for clinical students), professional development, research placements and conference attendance, as well as helping provide essential equipment and textbooks. Your support would be hugely welcomed and if you would like to make an ongoing commitment, or discuss other ways that you can support Medicine in Christ’s, please do contact Alexandra Rowlands on aj269@christs.cam.ac.uk.
