Our sponsors

As part of its 700th anniversary activities in 2008, the Worshipful Company of Barbers launched an appeal amongst its members which has enabled the Company to support the work of Outreach for Medicine for at least seven years.

In the Middle Ages, barbers once practiced surgery as Barber-Surgeons. The two skills separated when the surgeons left in 1745, ultimately to form

the Royal College of Surgeons. Now nearly half of the Barbers’ Company members are from medical disciplines and the Company’s charitable activities are focused on medical education.

Further information about the Company can be found at www.barberscompany.org or from the Clerk at Barbers-Surgeons’ Hall, London EC2Y 5BL.

What is Outreach for Medicine?

Outreach for Medicine at King’s College London works with students from non-selective state schools in London, providing a programme of events to encourage and enable bright and committed students to study medicine.

Extended Medical Degree Programme (EMDP), a six year medical degree for students from eligible schools who have the aptitude and attitude to study medicine, but who may not have the predicted or actual grades or UKCAT score to secure a place on a conventional medical degree programme.

Who should attend?

Our events are most suitable for Gifted & Talented science students who have shown interest in science and healthcare. We recommend making separate bookings for Keystage 3 and 4 groups so that we can tailor our events to an appropriate level.

For Medical Activity Days, a maximum of 20 places are available per school, per event. We recommend that bookings are made as far in advance as possible, as our events are heavily oversubscribed.
