Umme Kalsoom Alam | Director | In2MedSchool Acceleration Programme
I am a final-year medical student committed to widening access to medical education for underrepresented students.
My own challenges in applying to medical school inspired me to found the In2MedSchool Acceleration Programme (IAP) in 2021, an initiative designed to provide mentorship, academic support, and public health education to students aged 16-18. What started as a small programme supporting 18 schools has grown to over 80 schools and 1,000 students across the UK.

Jen Moore | Campaigner | Jen Moore
In 2021, due to the increasingly debilitating symptoms of endometriosis and adenomyosis, I was forced to give up my business of 8 years, a successful wedding cake company.
While waiting for answers, and with my mental health rapidly declining, I set up an Instagram page (@jen.dometriosis) to share what was happening in the hopes of connecting with someone who could ”get it”. The account blossomed into an international community, and then became a platform to take my advocacy and education work offline. I work to educate patients, the healthcare sector and wider society about endometriosis and adenomyosis, and encourage systemic change that is long, long overdue. I fell into this work in between two major surgeries, but it has become my life’s passion. I thought my life was ending, but it was just beginning.
