Please be aware that Swansea Gambia Link is run by current first-year medical students. If we don’t get back to you right away please don’t think we’re not delighted to hear from you, we may just be away on clinical placements so take a bit longer to reply. Thank you in advance for your patience.
Frequently Asked Questions
#1. What is Swansea Gambia Link?
Swansea Gambia Link is a student-lead organisation set up to support medical education in Wales and The Gambia.
#2. How can I get involved?
There are loads of ways you can get involved with SGL. Whether it’s fundraising, education, participating in events, organising projects or just a simple donation, your help is always appreciated.
#3. Can I go to The Gambia?
Every year, twenty four medical students from Swansea University are selected to go to Gambia across two trips. This includes twelve committee and twelve non-non-committee. You can apply to join the committee in your first year to guarantee yourself a place. The remaining places are given in second year to those who have supported SGL.
