To find out more about the BMA's policy work on widening participation in medicine, please email us.
Our feature on 'The Right Mix' goes into greater detail on these issues and what we think needs to change.
It’s important we encourage those with the potential to study medicine to regard it as a viable option, irrespective of their socio-economic circumstances.īy supporting widening participation in medicine, we are also ensuring that the NHS is reflective and understanding of the needs of its patients in the future. In the UK, medicine and being a doctor has traditionally been seen as a career for the elite or privileged in society.ĭespite efforts to increase gender parity and ethnic diversity among UK doctors, the lack of people from lower socio-economic backgrounds entering the profession is still a reality.
