We are today issuing a public apology for UCL’s history and legacy of eugenics. UCL played a fundamental role in the development, propagation and legitimisation of eugenics. We deeply regret this and apologise. ucl.ac.uk/news/2021/jan/ucl-…

ACMS ESSAY COMPETITION! We are launching an essay competition in which we want you to highlight a medical problem that disproportionally affects the African-Caribbean community in the UK. The essay should highlight possible solutions HCPs can take to help alleviate this problem.

The brutality that ensued was not only grossly indefensible, but completely senseless. There is nothing more devastating than seeing violence and bloodshed in response to peaceful fights for justice and pleas for a better future. Where is the humanity? #EndSarsNow

#EndSARS has created a moment of reckoning in Nigeria.
What did it take to push young Nigerians to create this movement, and what do they hope to see next?

This government U-turn is welcomed. However, it will be interesting to see how this affects students that missed their offers for Medicine due to being downgraded.
We welcome the government’s decision that A-level results will be determined by teacher-predicted grades, and are delighted to accept all students who meet the terms of their original offer on all programmes that do not have an externally-determined cap. ucl.ac.uk/news/2020/aug/ucl-…
