In essence, we have the best interests of our students and doctors at the heart of everything that we do. Medic Mentor is a social enterprise, who reinvests proceeds made from our events back into scholarships, awards, mentors and our students. Over the years, we have supported students to achieve immeasurable success; from international collaborations and research projects to writing books that have sold thousands of copies. But our greatest achievement is seeing students flourish, to achieve and surpass their potential; to turn their weaknesses into strengths; to make them better doctors; to make them happier in their professional working lives. Overall, everything we do at Medic Mentor is to help improve students’ and doctors’ wellbeing through support, mentoring, opportunities, encouragement and acknowledging success. Similarly, every doctor who is part of Medic Mentor is a role model for the next generation of doctors. We exhibit the highest professional values and raise awareness of the General Medical Council duties of a doctor throughout all of our activities. We highlight the doctors who are doing this successfully to instil this mindset and professional standards in our doctors of tomorrow. This will therefore raise standards of care for patients and increase doctors’ satisfaction working in the NHS.
