We were delighted to welcome back Old Greshamian Bryan Lee (F 2014–18) on Wednesday to speak with pupils interested in pursuing a career in medicine. Drawing on his own journey from Gresham’s through Biomedical Sciences degree study at Cardiff University to then studying Medicine (MBBS) at Lancashire, Bryan delivered an engaging and highly informative talk on the many routes into medicine.

Bryan shared valuable insights into life as a medical student, helping to demystify the application process and challenge common misconceptions about studying medicine. Pupils gained practical advice on everything from UCAT preparation and personal statements to choosing the right medical school and securing work experience.

Particularly inspiring was Bryan’s emphasis that there is no single pathway into medicine and that determination, preparation and enthusiasm are just as important as academic achievement. His honest reflections, practical guidance and encouragement were greatly appreciated by all who attended.

We are extremely grateful to Bryan for returning to Gresham’s to support and inspire the next generation of aspiring medics.
