Elected

It would be an absolute privilege to be your media officer for the year,

This year I have undertaken the role of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Chair, something which has been an invaluable experience. One of the aspects I enjoyed most about my time as chair was the communications work involved. 

Be this update emails, social media posts, or communicating with other societies, I feel this is a role that I am well suited to due to both my time-management skills, and personable nature. Moreover, I am passionate about media's importance in pushing our society even further, exposing more people to our work, and engaging the next generation of surgeons. 

Some ways I would take us into the future

  • Creating a robust mailing list, with specific chains for specialities, ensuring high attendance at all events
  • Regular social media posts, about our events, but also other relevant developments including social media takeovers
  • Ensure deadlines are adhered to, giving us adequate time to advertise, and ensure access and attendance
  • Increase our affiliations with other societies across UCL and other medical schools, increasing event attendance by increasing our exposure
  • Timely management of social media inboxes, these are often the easiest way for our members to access us and ask questions, highlighting the importance of consistent engagement. 
  • Improve our social media branding, ensuring all our pages are coherent, giving us a creative and recognisable presence!
