WHO WE ARE
Widening Participation Medics Network (WPMN) is a national charitable organisation consisting of over 100 volunteers who are building a medical workforce that is representative of the population it serves. The Social Mobility Commission reported that just 4% of UK doctors come from working-class backgrounds. That is not merely a diversity gap, it is a diversity abyss where we lose excellent future doctors. We are widening participation in medicine by representing the underrepresented. WPMN endeavours to create a united voice for our 1000+ aspiring medical students, current medical students and doctors that speaks with authority and power to drive positive change within the medical workforce and enhance patient care.
