Hey everyone! :) Camille and I both currently study Biomedical Science at Glasgow Caledonian University, and decided to further develop our laboratory skills and gain more science knowledge by doing a Gap Medics placement in 2017.

We will be going to Pula, Croatia next July for 2 weeks to volunteer in a local hospital and complete a laboratory placement there. Our placement will require us to work in a remote area and allow us to work mostly in the cytology department to observe how various samples are analysed and how malignant cells are recognized from viewing them under the microscope. This opportunity is very beneficial to us as we will become more knowledgeable of any cancer related research or studies that we can then go on to for our employment in the near future. It will also help us learn about the difference between healthcare in the UK and in countries overseas. The money that you donate will help fund us with our accommodation, travel expenses, the actual laboratory placement, and also a donation to the hospital.

Your donations will greatly help us take part in this programme to give us an in-depth understanding of the disparities in global healthcare. Overall, this amazing opportunity will help aid us into becoming future scientists.

Any donations are greatly appreciated!
