Adenitire MODERATOR

My ultimate mission in life is to inspire
people to be the best version of them-
selves. I endeavour to do this through
sharing my story of the obstacles I’ve
overcome in order to walk in my pur-
pose. Currently I’m a 4th-year med-
ical student and Co-Founder of The
Armitage Foundation (TAF) - a chari-
ty committed to increasing diversity
across UK medical schools. As a result
of the work I do through TAF, in 2018
I was awarded the UK Queen’s Young
Leaders award by Her Majesty the
Queen at Buckingham Palace. I be-
lieve the healthcare profession should
reflect the society it serves, and this is
the banner I’m committed to waving!
