From working on SurgSoc's flagship event, the International Undergraduate Surgical Conference, to delivering some of SurgSoc's consistently sold-out and exciting initiatives, including the Surgical Skills Course, Plastic Surgery series and inaugural General Surgery Spectrum, I’ve demonstrated commitment and capability - and aspire to bring the same creativity, dedication and energy to the new society through 3 major events:

1. Accessible Pre-Conference Workshops: Free/low-cost programme introducing students of all levels to vascular and laparoscopic surgery, creating a supportive space to build confidence and spark interest early.
2. An Elevated General Surgery Spectrum: Taking our flagship conference to new heights with inspiring talks from world-leading surgeons across every subspecialty, paired with hands-on experiences using custom-built models - from emergency simulations to advanced laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures, including tumour resections and biopsies.
3. A Meaningful Post-Conference Research & Shadowing Series: Connecting students with pioneering researchers and patients, along with an attendance-based shadowing scheme - rewarding the most engaged participants with the opportunity to shadow an expert in their field of choice (including observing robotic surgeries)!

If this sounds like an experience you’d love to be part of, Vote for me! Let's make General & Vascular Surgery fun, immersive and full of unforgettable experiences.
