Future Doctors - Headington Oxford (Dukes Plus)

Future Doctors is a two-week summer school for students aged 12 6, delivered at Headington Rye School in Oxford. Created and delivered in partnership with The Medic Portal and run by SBC, the programme provides 15 hours per week of subject-specific tuition focused on human biology, anatomy and physiology, clinical fundamentals and medical ethics.

Participants complete practical first aid training and take part in structured clinical simulations to build practical assessment and basic diagnostic skills. The course includes collaborative 'Time To Shine' projects with end-of-week showcases, a varied social programme and excursions (examples listed include Thorpe Park, London and Oxford).

Students receive detailed tutor feedback via a personalised end-of-course report and a certificate of achievement at completion. The campus is based at Headington Rye School, just over a mile from Oxford city centre, and is specifically aimed at 12-16 year olds interested in exploring pathways into medicine and other healthcare careers.
