  • 2018-05-01 · First Live Hangout + Rapid-fire Q&A — Ali hears Scandinavian countries have good healthcare, calls the American system absolutely crap, and loves the UK system, though the NHS probably can't survive in its current state. (hedged) — 00:27:16

2017

  • 2017-08-30 · BMAT Section 3 Essay - Everything you need to know · BMAT Tips series — Ali says one BMAT Section 3 title is usually a medical question, such as treating obese people on the NHS, euthanasia or abortion, and another usually a vet question. — 00:02:22

  • 2017-10-24 · 6 tips for Medicine MMIs - Multiple Mini Interviews — recommendation: a guest: A student says MMIs need thinking on your feet: rather than factual questions such as when the NHS was founded, they may ask about a hot topic or current debate, so have ideas ready and be able to argue them unrehearsed. — 00:02:16

    • Charlotte says the NHS is founded on the principle of discriminating only on the basis of clinical need. — 00:08:27
