Widening Participation Champions
The School of Medicine has a Widening Participation Champion who works locally to encourage and inform potential medical students about how to apply to study Medicine and what it is like to work as a doctor in the NHS today.
Mandy Hampshire
Mandy Hampshire is the current Director of Undergraduate Medicine Admissions at the University of Nottingham. Alongside this role she is the Widening Participation Champion for Medicine and works as a GP in Derbyshire.
As a graduate of Nottingham Medical School herself, Mandy is a great advocate for the University and following her degree, stayed in the local area where she trained to be a GP.
During her career, she has worked both full-time and part-time, taken time to go travelling abroad and had a career break when her children were young.
As a GP, Mandy appreciates being part of a practice dedicated to offering the best care possible to their patients. Every patient is unique, and every day is different and challenging.
Studying Medicine is an important career choice, so students need as much information as possible about life as a medical student and what it will be like to work as a doctor. Mandy very much enjoys working with staff from various teams across the university to guide and support potential applicants considering Medicine as a career.
She says "It is a real privilege talking to potential medical students about working as a doctor and advising them on applying to study Medicine".
