Emily
Swansea University
Medicine (Graduate Entry), MBBCH
I am currently a first year Graduate Entry Medicine (GEM) student at Swansea University, where I also completed my undergraduate degree in Medical Biochemistry. I originally wanted to study medicine before starting my biochemistry degree, and that interest continued to grow during my undergraduate studies.
At the moment, I am still keeping an open mind about which specialty I would like to pursue. So far, I have particularly enjoyed paediatrics, A&E, neuro, and surgery! I am looking forward to experiencing a wider range of specialties during medical school to better understand where I might fit best.
Outside of medicine, I enjoy being apart of Medics hockey and travelling- with my favourite country being Australia!

Megan
Swansea University
Midwifery, BMid (Hons)
I am currently studying my first ever degree in midwifery. I plan to work for the NHS once I am qualified and move back home to England to be with my family (and dogs of course). I knew leaving secondary school I wanted to work in healthcare, and following a brief stint of care of the elderly in college, I discovered that was not for me. Eventually I found midwifery and my passion around care for women grew. When I am not studying or trying to catch up on sleep from night shift working, I am doing one of two things: reading, or crocheting. People say I have 'granny hobbies'. Why yes, yes I do.
