BBC Radio 4 covers our junior doctors scheme
St Matthew Academy students have taken part in a unique programme to encourage young people in inner London to study medicine. The BBC came to follow St Matthew students in years 7 and 8 as they learned CPR techniques, took each other’s blood pressure, studied the organs of rats and mice and found out how to suture wounds during the start of a programme called School of Docs – growing the next generation of Lewisham doctors.
