UHNM welcomes 2,024th Keele medical student graduate

A student who became Keele University’s 2,024th medical graduate has chosen to continue his career at University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust (UHNM). 

Mohamed Jalloh received a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery degree (MBChB) from the University this summer and will start his new role as a Foundation Year 1 doctor at the end of August.  

Mohamed spent part of his training at UHNM working as a medical and healthcare assistant. 

Mohammed said: “I have always wanted to study medicine in order to help people during their most vulnerable moments. The ability to make a real difference in someone's life through compassionate care is incredibly fulfilling to me. My goals are to become a skilled and empathetic physician, continuously learning and growing to improve patient outcomes. I aim to provide holistic care that addresses the diverse needs of my patients, ensuring they feel heard, valued, and cared for.

“I chose UHNM to start my career because I have spent the last few years of my medical school training there, coming from Keele University. During this time, I also worked as a medical assistant and healthcare assistant at UHNM. Through these experiences, I witnessed firsthand the high-quality teaching, and this familiarity made UHNM the ideal place for me to continue my journey in medicine.

“I’m eager to apply the knowledge and skills I’ve acquired at Keele in a real-world setting, working directly with patients and healthcare teams. I plan to utilize my training as a Foundation doctor to gain deeper insight into the medical specialties that piqued my interest during medical school, helping me decide which field I want to specialize in the future.”

Professor Fidelma O'Mahony, UHNM Hospital Dean for Keele Medical School, said: “I would like to pass on my congratulations to Mohamed and welcome him to UHNM. Reaching this fantastic graduate milestone is proof that Keele and UHNM are leading the way in medical education, ensuring that our graduates are prepared for the challenges of working in the NHS.”
