Academic Lead for Student Support & Students Raising Concerns – Becky Prince (she/her)

Becky is originating the role of Academic Lead for Student Support & Students Raising Concerns, where she will be supporting students throughout their medical school journey in both their development and wellbeing. Becky will also support clear and approachable routes for raising concerns and help ensure students feel able to use them when needed. Becky is looking forward to getting to know you and helping you navigate your time at KMMS, as you grow into the doctor you want to become. 

Becky is originally from Lancashire but has gradually migrated further south since starting university. She is a GP in West Kent and has worked at the same practice since 2010. Alongside this, she has taken on leadership roles including the Clinical Lead for Diabetes for NHS Kent and Medway, and for several years also worked as a GP with an enhanced role in mental health. Becky has always enjoyed teaching and working with a range of healthcare professionals, and values the fact that learning is never one-way—the people around you bring perspectives that challenge your thinking and help you keep improving. 

What’s one fact about you from your uni days? 

I loved my time at university, although I do sometimes wish I’d had a bit more confidence in myself back then—particularly when it came to my studies. I probably spent more time than I should have in the theatre—and not the surgical kind, including performing a two-person musical at the Edinburgh Fringe between my third and fourth year, which was an amazing experience. 

What’s one piece of advice you want to give to students? 

Believe in yourself – even more than you do right now. There’s no single mould for a good doctor—what matters is developing your own strengths. Medicine is a profession where you can build a career that reflects who you are—your interests and your personality. Try not to compare yourself too much to others; focus on becoming the kind of doctor you want to be. 

If you were to go back and study again now, what subject would you choose? 

I’d still choose medicine—without hesitation, even on the more challenging days. But I’d love the option to weave in something creative, like drama or writing. Having that balance alongside medicine has always been valuable for me.
