We were delighted to welcome former student, Basit Kakroo, back to St Edmund’s this week. He shared his pathway to becoming a doctor at New Cross Hospital with aspiring medics in years 10, 11 & 12. 

Basit explained his role, describing his daily routine and the demands of the job. He also went on to give advice on how to prepare for the UCAT medical exams. Basit even found time to catch up with his teachers, including Miss Moore who was his form tutor.

Ashpriya (Year 12): “I found it really insightful to hear the perspectives of a former student. In particular, it was useful making a connection with someone local who can aid me with work experience and the interview process.”
