Laurence Gesman: advocating for underrepresented students
“In my role I represent care-experienced students and help organise events for new students from similar backgrounds, where we can talk about our experiences.”
Laurence is a fifth-year medical student and Student Lead for the Underrepresented Student Support Team, which looks after students from care-experienced (foster or adoptive care, children’s care home or kinship care) and estranged backgrounds, as well as young carers and forced migrants.
