Industry trends tell us younger demographics rely more on digital sources for news, info and other content
bma.org.uk has student content but it can be difficult to find. Members can log in, or go to the student role page

7. Improving our news service
Comment boxes on the end of news stories so students can share their views with the BMA more immediately?
More video/audio/multimedia content to add value
Ability to rate and share stories and blogs
Do we still need a printed publication for medical students?
If so, what kind of changes do we need to make? What alternatives would students find more engaging?
