Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering Society: Welfare Officer

Hi everyone! I'm Ashley, a 2nd year Biomedical Engineering student :) I'm applying to be one of your Welfare Officers because I know how challenging and exhausting our courses can be, and I want to help create a positive environment for everyone's mental and physical wellbeing, making sure you all feel supported and heard. As a welfare officer,  a type of wellbeing event I'd like to organise is casual drop in study sessions - where people can come and tackle assignments together. I’d like to create opportunities like this for members in the years above to share advice and insights with those in the year below, as I’ve found that kind of support incredibly helpful myself. I also aim to create a safe space for anyone needing an extra bit of support. Academics aside, other wellbeing events I would include are movie and game nights to relax and catch a break as the weather gets colder and the deadlines get closer. Thank you for considering me and I look forward to supporting you all as Wellbeing Officer!
