Really enjoyed the landmark first ever #Ramadan #iftar event at the Royal College of Surgeons, held to recognise the 3000 Muslim members in the UK. Great talks introduced by President @TMitchellFRCS including @SurgicalScarf
Well done @RCSnews for organising 🙏🏾❤️

@maals5x @RCSnews Wsalaam, thank you! Traditionally, to study medicine at university you need to do A levels including biology, chemistry, and in some unis maths. As an FY2 doctor you can then apply for core surgical training.
