Medical student funding in England is broken. We’re campaigning to #FixOurFunding, so students retain their entitlement to full student finance maintenance funding throughout their years of study.
Support for our future doctors is vital.

Medical students from the BMA hosted a day of action in Parliament Square today as part of the #FixOurFunding campaign to address poor medical school funding in England.
Thank you to all those who came along to the event and helped to amplify our voices.
We are holding the first ever medical student rally to protest unacceptably low funding. Join us next Wednesday to raise your voice (and to grab a free, very limited-edition BMA pink bucket hat). #FixOurFunding #StopTheDrop
