A MEDICINE student, who grew up in Uxbridge, is behind a campaign to reform health care education, to improve the NHS.
Third-year Anglia Ruskin student Hamaad Khan is the co-founder of Rethinking Health, a national student and trainee campaign.
It advocates that reform starts with better education of health care professionals, the future generation of the health service.
The campaign formally launched its report, Hope for the Future, at the House of Lords with influential figures in attendance.
It calls for a focus on disease prevention, addressing the root causes of ill health.
Co-founder Hamaad Khan, 25, originally from Uxbridge, and is studying at ARU’s School of Medicine in Chelmsford, after which he intends to go into general practice.
He said: “ARU’s School of Medicine has always been in the unique position of being a newer medical school, championing curriculum innovation and teaching.”
