Join us in London on May 10 for MediSpoon Launchpad — a free, hands-on medicine prep event!
About this Event

The MediSpoon Launchpad is a free, full-day event for anyone serious about getting into medicine.

Taking place on Sunday 10th May 2026 at London Enterprise Academy, London, the Launchpad is the official launch of the MediSpoon platform — and a public declaration of our founding mission: that access to the medical profession should be determined by ambition and ability, not by postcode, school, or family income.

Whether you are a Year 12 student at the very start of your medicine journey, a Year 13 applicant preparing to reapply, a gap year student rebuilding your application, a teacher supporting aspiring medics, a current medical student, or simply someone who believes medicine should be open to the most talented — there is a place for you at the Launchpad.

WHAT'S ON

🎓 Expert UCAT Sessions with Dr. Monjur Showkot (MedicDream) Four dedicated sessions covering the UCAT, personal statement writing, MMI interview technique, and a structured summer preparation plan. Dr. Showkot is one of the UK's most respected medicine preparation coaches, and this is a rare opportunity to learn from him directly — at no cost.

📝 Free 1-to-1 Personal Statement Reviews Bring your personal statement draft and get honest, structured feedback from experienced reviewers on the day. Walk away knowing exactly what to improve and how.

🏥 Live MMI Practice Stations Practise real MMI-style scenarios with junior doctors and medical students acting as assessors. Receive personalised written feedback after each station — the kind of preparation that genuinely moves the needle.

🎤 Panel Discussion: Medicine, Access & What It Really Takes A candid conversation with MPs, clinicians, university academics, and headteachers on the realities of widening participation in medicine — what's working, what isn't, and what aspiring doctors from all backgrounds need to know.

🏛️ University Exhibition Space Meet widening participation officers and outreach teams from unitersities. Ask the questions you actually want answered — face to face.

🚀 The Official MediSpoon Platform Launch The Launchpad marks the public launch of the MediSpoon platform, including the announcement of our three founding commitments to social mobility in medicine — including free access for Free School Meals students and a full refund guarantee for every subscriber who receives a medical school offer.

🎁 Giveaways & Prizes Including a 90-Day Summer Preparation Roadmap, platform access, and prizes throughout the day.

EVENT DETAILS

📅 Date: Sunday 10th May 2026 🕙 Time: 10:00 AM – 4:30 PM (doors open 10:00 AM) 📍 Venue: London Enterprise Academy, London 🎟️ Admission: Free — no exceptions

WHO IS THIS FOR?

This event is open to everyone. You do not need to be a MediSpoon subscriber to attend. You do not need to have started preparing. You do not need to be certain that medicine is right for you.

You just need to be curious, ambitious, and willing to show up.

The Launchpad has been designed with state school students and students from lower-income households at its centre — but every seat is open to everyone, because we believe that conversations about access to medicine are better when everyone is in the room.

ABOUT MEDISPOON

MediSpoon is a UK medicine preparation platform built around a simple conviction: that the quality of preparation a student receives should never be determined by how much money their family has.

The platform brings together 50,000+ UCAT-style practice questions, 350+ guided lessons, full mock exams, advanced analytics, and interview coaching in one structured, mentor-led pathway — starting from £12 per week.

Every MediSpoon subscriber who receives a medical school offer receives a full refund of their subscription. Students who qualify for Free School Meals receive full platform access at no cost.
