ARU student launches national health campaign

A Medicine student at Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) is behind a campaign to reform healthcare education and improve the future of the National Health Service (NHS).

Third-year ARU student Hamaad Khan is the co-founder of Rethinking Health, a national student and trainee campaign advocating for healthcare reform by enhancing the education of healthcare professionals—the future of the health service.

The campaign advocates for educating healthcare workers with a focus on disease prevention, addressing the root causes of ill health, and building a more sustainable health system for the future. It aims to unite healthcare students and early-career professionals through webinars, conferences, and talks, raising awareness of the critical role education plays in healthcare reform and improving health services.

Co-founder Hamaad Khan, 25, originally from Uxbridge in West London, is currently studying at ARU’s School of Medicine in Chelmsford. After completing his studies, he intends to pursue a career in general practice.
