Medical student funding is broken.

Students shouldn't have to worry about how to pay bills, or afford food, or need to skip placement to work a part time job.

We want to fix this! Find out more about BMA plans, and how you can get involved #FixOurFunding

Went for a trip to Lincoln Med school today, and added to my badge collection.

A recent @bma.org.uk survey found that:

💸 Over 43% of medical students have considered leaving their course due to financial pressures.

🎓 85% of students feel their financial situation is detrimental to their overall educational attainment.

🥪 62% are cutting back on essentials.

This week @the-bma.bsky.social have once again wrote to the government (DHSC & DoE):
- To understand why +2% in 12yrs is all we have so far #FixOurFunding
- To compare Student Finance England, to the fairer process in Wales with no unliveable drop in funding #StopTheDrop

Medical students from the BMA hosted a day of action in Parliament Square today as part of the #FixOurFunding campaign to address poor medical school funding in England.
Thank you to all those who came along to the event and helped to amplify our voices.

Please Repost! Every UK Med Student needs to see this:
Med Student Funding is broken & today we have launched our #FixOurFunding campaign lobbying to fix this!

To make this campaign more successful, we need as many med students to share their insight in our survey here: www.bma.org.uk/fixourfunding
