Our Mission

At Medical Mavericks we are opening the door to the world around the students we see, just enough so they can get a tantilising taste that will drive their ambition and inspire them to find out more. If they want it, they will kick down the door to open it further and do what ever it takes to run through it into a world they never thought possible.

We inspire the next generation of medics and scientists by taking real medical and sports science equipment into schools, colleges & events all over the UK. We like to describe ourselves and the UK’s No 1, OMG, jaw dropping Careers, STEM & Sports Science Enrichment Experience for schools, colleges and events!

5 Star Experiences

Newham VI College Careers Day

“It was a fantastic day! The year 8 to 13 students were engaged from beginning to end and were really enthusiastic about trying all the bits of equipment. Every activity hit the right spot with them and they got a lot out of the day learning about the medical world. We’ve already spoke to the science department to plan next year and get you guys back in again!”

Dione & Julie – Careers Tutors, Newham VI College

Skills Show NHS Careers Exhibition

Medical Mavericks have been absolutely fantastic for us at the Skills Show. They have demonstrated the range of opportunities across the NHS, demonstrating practical skill such as the iPhone retina scan, ECG and Ultrasound!”

Year 6 Prep School Science Day

“It was absolutely Fabulous! The room was buzzing from start to finish. The way the activities were explained made it so easy for the girls to get their ideas across. I would certainly recommend them and will definitely be booking them again next year.”
