Bioethics and Medical Law Society: Events Officer

As a neuroscience student, I am interested in the intersections of healthcare and ethics, especially with the rise of AI in our healthcare system. After being inspired by the bioethics society’s talks and being able to meet with like-minded people, I wanted to do the same for others moving forward, encouraging an exchange of ideas and beliefs. I believe that lots of ethical and legal issues can arise from innovation, and development of technology. I want events to be an open discussion about these advancements, while also be a great starting step where people can learn even if they know nothing about bioethics and medical law. I will make it my goal to make events a safe (and very fun!!) space for students to be curious, ask questions, and to be a hub for like-minded people. 

I have effective communication skills and have worked with lots of D&I initiatives, so ensuring the society is a welcoming place for everyone is my number one priority. There will be an abundance of differing opinions, and it is important to ensure that the society is a place where all beliefs and opinions will be treated with respect. 

Vote for me to make bioethics an inclusive and safe place for all! 

Hello! My name is Annliya, I am a 1st year medical student excited to be running for events officer!

I have been a member of the society since starting university and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to play a part in running it.

I have always enjoyed delving deeper into ethical topics and I believe discussions in this area is the best way for us all to learn and especially learn from each other.. During my time at school, I ran a healthcare newsletter and coordinated with various fellow students to help promote the field and encourage younger students to take an interest. I have been a first year representative for the Malayali society and I believe this experience has helped me develop skills needed to run and organise well-planned events that will be valuable for all the members.

If elected, I promise to work hard with the other committee members to organise amazing events, collaborating with other societies and inviting various guests to ensure us all having valuable learning experiences and continue to be inspired by those the community around us!
