hello

Alice is a final year medical student at Keele University. Prior to doing medicine she completed a medical biochemistry degree at the University of Birmingham. Outside of medicine, Alice is a keen scuba diver and is an instructor in her spare time. She hopes one day she can combine her passion for medicine and diving. Wanting to pursue a career in emergency medicine, Alice is planning on returning to South Africa in a few years time to gain more experience prior to speciality training.
