Hi there, and welcome to Brains and Bandages! My name is Jash, and I’m currently a final-year graduate medical student at the University of Manchester. Before heading north, I completed my BSc at University College London and my MRes at Imperial College London, so I’ve had my fair share of navigating some of the UK’s most demanding academic environments.

Over the years, I’ve been through the highs and lows of the student journey—late-night study sessions, clinical placements, juggling extracurriculars, and carving out time for self-care. This personal experience has shown me that succeeding in medical school and university isn’t just about hitting the books; it’s about balancing life inside and outside the lecture hall, building resilience, and growing as a person.

I started Brains and Bandages to share the insights, strategies, and stories I’ve picked up along the way. From practical study tips and career guidance to reflections on personal growth and well-being, my goal is to help you not only survive but truly thrive during your time at university or medical school.

Thanks for stopping by. Here’s to embracing the journey, becoming the best version of ourselves, and making every stage of student life a rewarding adventure.
