Our chair, Will Newman, once again had the opportunity to get involved with the annual Student Voice Prize – an annual, international essay competition that raises the profile of rare diseases within the medical field, particularly with medical students, nurses and scientists who may have never come across rare diseases in their training.
Will held virtual meetings with Riddhiman Ghosh, a 4th year medical student from Cambridge University and Kalp Gandhi, a second-year medical student at the University of Liverpool. This initiative offers such a valuable experience for both our charity and the students engaging with our story.
We are delighted to share their respective essays with you all.
If anyone is interested in taking part in the ‘patient pairing scheme’ you can find out more details here.
