Aspiring doctors in Year 12 attended a ‘Mini Medical School’ lecture series at James Cook Hospital where topics included: ‘Medicine at the Sharp Edge’ with Dr Jeff Doran, ‘Exploring General Practice’ with Dr Hugh Alberti and Dr Adedoyin and ‘Painting a Picture of the Skin; Warts and All’ with Dr Rob Ellis.

We hosted representatives from Anthony Nolan, a medical charity who support research into stem cells and blood cancer. Sixth Form students were encouraged to sign up to the donor register in the hope of helping patients with blood cancer or a blood disorder to receive lifesaving stem cell transplants.

The Year 13 Duke of Edinburgh group have completed their Gold Practice Expedition which involved a physically arduous route along Hadrian’s Wall with the addition of unprecedented stormy weather. Well done!
