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.

WHAT WE DO

Our mission is to provide a supportive community to underrepresented groups that break down barriers at all stages of the medical journey by sharing resources, experiences and opportunities.

"I found that there were certain specialties that I was really interested in experiencing but never had the opportunity to see during medical school. Because of this, I approached WPMN with the idea to set up a lecture series to amend this. With the incredible help of Vikesh and Maria from the events team, we managed to set up a specialty spotlight series together called WPMN Presents."
