ABOUT US
The Royal Free, University College and Middlesex Medical Students’ Association has a proud and illustrious past.
Formed in the wake of the merger between the three constituent medical schools in 1998, it has since gone from strength to strength and we now provide social events, sports teams, societies, welfare services and representation to the 1200 or so medical students at UCL Medical School.
