Welcome to the AFMS Network!
This Network aims to create and foster links between students and teachers, seniors and juniors, French and British. Whether that be through improving French abilities, enabling connections, or encouraging networking, there is something for everybody within the AFMS Network.
Designed for students and doctors alike, the Méd-Franç Essentials course aims to improve your French abilities through regular and consistent sessions by offering monthly French discussions. Designed as a OSCE style, discussion type course, the sessions allow you to immerse yourself in the French language for an hour, conversing with colleagues and other medical professionals about medical and clinical topics.
This course can be accessed through our Medical French Courses banner.

Thinking of undertaking an elective in a French speaking country? We’d love to hear from you. Thanks to the generous donation from the Miss Ford charity, we are able to offer the Miss Ford Bursary to help aid medical students from Britain and France to spend elective attachments in establishments speaking each other’s languages.
