This June, we’re launching the first I’m a Medic, Get me out of here event! Between 12th – 23rd June students at 18 schools will put 6 healthcare professionals through their paces, in fast-paced live chats and probing questions on everything to do with general practice, from vaccinations, to prescriptions, to what it’s like to run a GPs surgery. For the latest news and announcements about the event, find us on Twitter, @imamedic_uk, and follow the hashtag, #IAMUK.

We’re about to launch our new site design. We’re going to make it live for the June event, and you will get to see it in situ. So next time you log in things might look a bit different. For the past few months we have been working in the background to develop a new look for our site to make it a bit more modern, a lot better on mobile devices and and much easier for us to update. We’re still testing before going live on a site with an event so if you spot anything that looks rubbish or even worse doesn’t work, please email and let us know there’s a problem. Send an email to emily@mangorol.la with a URL, screenshot and what you think isn’t right. It would be much appreciated.
