Talking through your thoughts, experiences and goals with an informed, unbiased person can be extremely helpful when making careers decisions.

If you are considering applying to Medicine/Dentistry and are still studying A levels (or equivalent) then your first point of call will be your School/College careers adviser or teacher.  Universities you are considering may also provide initial information and advice.

If you are a student looking to apply to Medicine or Dentistry as a graduate, then please approach your own University Careers Service.  Newcastle University students should browse to www.ncl.ac.uk/careers
