Medicine in a Changing World

Dubai’s ultimate information session for future doctors - and their parents

If Medicine is seriously on the table, this is the room to be in.

There is a huge amount about becoming a doctor that students and parents are simply never told clearly.

Which countries should you consider?

Is the UK still worth it?

How competitive is Medicine really?

What do top medical schools actually look for?

What should students be doing in Year 9, 10, 11 or 12?

How should families think about work experience, admissions tests, interviews and university choice?

And beyond getting in:

What is medicine actually becoming?

This live session brings together two doctors at very different stages of the profession to give students and parents an unusually honest, practical and global view of the journey ahead.

📅 Sunday 25 October 2026
⏰ 4:00pm–6:30pm
📍 King’s School Al Barsha, Dubai

The things nobody properly explains

We’ll unpack:

🌍 Global medical school pathways
Understand routes into Medicine across the UK, UAE, Ireland, Australia, Canada, the US and beyond — with particular focus on the UK pathway for Dubai-based students.

🇬🇧 How UK medical school admissions actually work
Grades, admissions tests, work experience, university selection, interviews and the mistakes that cost strong students places.

🎓 What strong applicants do differently
Beyond grades: communication, judgement, reflection, intellectual curiosity, maturity and genuine understanding of the profession.

🩺 What being a doctor is really like
The realities of medical school, training, competition, lifestyle, responsibility and career progression — without sugar-coating it.

🚀 What students should be doing now
A practical roadmap for Years 9–12 so families know what matters now, what can wait and where students can get ahead.

🤖 Where medicine is heading
AI, digital health, global mobility and a profession that will look very different by the time today’s students qualify.

And this is what makes the opportunity special

Dr Masood Ahmed

Former NHS Chief Medical Officer | Former Global Medical Director at Dell Healthcare & Life Sciences | NHS Board Member | Oxford Mentor | UCL Lecturer

Dr Masood has worked across clinical medicine, NHS leadership, global healthcare, technology, academia and board-level strategy.

This is not someone coming to talk about medicine from a textbook.

He has seen the profession from the inside — from frontline healthcare through to some of the highest levels of leadership.

For a student considering Medicine, the opportunity to meet him, hear how he sees the future of the profession and ask him questions directly is genuinely rare.

And for parents, it is a chance to hear from someone who understands not just how to enter Medicine — but where the profession is going.

Dr Ayaan Khurshed

Imperial College London Graduate | NHS Resident Doctor | Chief Medical Officer, Medology

Ayaan graduated from Imperial College London and now combines clinical practice with his role as Chief Medical Officer of Medology.

Through Medology, he has personally helped support thousands of aspiring medical students, giving him a detailed understanding of the questions, misconceptions and challenges students face long before they reach medical school.

He brings the perspective of someone who has very recently made the journey himself — from ambitious applicant, to Imperial medical student, to practising doctor.

Together, Dr Masood and Dr Ayaan give you both ends of the journey.

One has spent decades helping lead healthcare.

One has recently navigated one of the world’s most competitive medical pathways.

And both can tell you what students should be doing now.

For parents

If your child is seriously considering Medicine, this could save you months of confusion and years of poor assumptions.

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of:

• Which international pathways exist
• How competitive the journey really is
• What actually matters for applications
• What opportunities are worth pursuing
• How early preparation should begin
• What the medical career looks like after university
• Whether Medicine is genuinely the right long-term choice

For students

You’ll leave understanding:

• What separates strong applicants
• What medical schools are looking for
• How to start building your profile early
• What doctors actually do
• How Medicine is changing
• What you should prioritise over the next few years

This is not about giving you another checklist.

It is about giving you perspective.
