“I feel like The HLA has given me a new perspective, one that I wouldn’t have had if I had stayed within the medic bubble. I feel that the network has been an important factor that we have been lucky to be given whilst part of The HLA. The wide variety of speakers that we get to meet and the like minded students who have the same ambitions, ideas and goals.”
