    Hi all,
    Long time lurker here! If this post is against any rules, mods feel free to delete. I'm applying as a mature student to medicine this coming year. I've loads of work experience (caring for a close relative for 3 years, St. Johns ambulance, CHI, UNICEF, B.I.T.E, DSPCA) but nothing within a hospital or with a GP. This is not for lack of trying!!! I've emailed 10 different hospitals, most replied with a very nice 'No, but good luck with your career' etc. I knew going in to this process that this sort of experience would be challenging with patient confidentiality so I'm desperate and reaching out to the medics on boards. :D

    If any of your lovely people want to take pity on me and recommend a specific consultant that you are aware allows shadowing, a hospital I haven't thought of or even just a vague point in the right direction, please feel free to PM me.

    Sincerest thanks in advance,
    SF
