help
hi,
i have recently just received a police caution for which i have to do community service. the caution was for a driving related offence. Will this affect my chances of getting into medicine? what procedures will i have to follow regarding applying to medical school? (p.s i am 17 and just completed my AS levels).

The quick answer is yes it will have an effect on your chances as the application asks for you to declare any criminal offences which I think includes cautions. Whether it will bar you from entering medical school, I don't know; that is something you have to take up with the schools themselves.

A student I knew in Medical school had a driving conviction. but the CRB check does not include driving offences.
I assume that this is true, but having thought about it some may ask outrightif you have ever had a caution. But I dont think so.
The best thing to do is be honest, either way.
