FINAL year medical students at Southampton University are getting ready to celebrate their hard work and achievements in style, thanks to staff at NatWest's campus branch.

The team have secured £1,000 sponsorship from the bank to help fund the costs of the traditional end of term celebration ball.

Staff will also be presenting the graduates with a commemorative Congratulations Class of 2007' medical torch pen - a useful memento as they embark on their new careers.

Other sponsors of the traditional event include the Medical Protection Society, Medical Defence Union, Medical Sickness Society and MLP Private Finance.
