The National Medical Schools' Widening Participation Student Working Group was created in 2017 to provide a collective student voice within the world of widening participation. This group is a subcommittee of the National Medical Schools’ WP Forum which is run by academics and clinicians from over 20 medical schools, assessment bodies and voluntary organisations in the United Kingdom. With the support of the national forum and the Medical Schools Council, the student group aids in new program developments, research opportunities and supports outreach activities within medical schools.
