Anaesthetics is an exciting career with lots of opportunities for subspecialization. I want to showcase these broad areas to students through a social media teaching series, engaging talks by experts, and an inaugural undergraduate conference. During my time as a Social Media Officer this year, I have been involved in creating the teaching series, designing posts to promote the conference, enlisting anesthetists to attend, and helping with the running of the day.  After the success of the conference this year, I would like to organise another two-day conference with one day dedicated to workshops so students can get more hands-on experience and mentorship. I look forward to collaborating with subcommittees from other universities to create a more diverse networking opportunity. As Chair, I will work hard to arrange regular opportunities for students and will start a series of social media posts sharing current news in Anaesthesia. I believe It is important to have a range of events available to be more accessible, therefore, I aim to have a combination of online talks with interactive elements and practical workshops. I have experience co-leading UCL Next Top Doctor, where I have developed organisational skills and helped promote the society with success in recruiting volunteers and working on the events and social media teams of RUMS Welfare. I look forward to creating a subcommittee for people passionate about a career in anaesthetics to collaborate and explore it further.
