Surgical Society: Welfare Officer

As the Welfare Officer of the Surgical Society, I will commit myself to creating a nurturing and supportive environment where the well-being of each member is prioritised. I understand the demands and challenges of being a part of the surgical community, and I am dedicated to ensuring that mental, physical, and emotional health remains at the forefront of our priorities.

I will use my people skills to enhance the sense of community within the Surgical Society where my main aim is to run more surgical-themed welfare socials. These events will include, but are not limited to:

• Mindfulness Sessions: Providing tools and techniques to manage stress, enhance focus, and promote mental resilience
• Surgical-Themed Pub Quiz
• Yoga Anatomy
• Quick fire questions with surgeons
• Medical Board Games Night e.g. Operation and articulate
• Building on the success of Anatomy and Art, we will continue to explore the creative side of anatomy, encouraging a holistic approach to our studies.

I want to ensure that our wellness initiatives are inclusive and accessible to all members. Recognizing the diverse needs within our society, I will actively seek feedback and collaborate with members to tailor our programs to address a range of well-being concerns.

As a community, we can prioritize our mental health and build lasting connections. I am excited about the journey ahead and am confident that, with your support, we can create a thriving community that values the well-being of each member.
