Hannah Thomas

Hi! I am Hannah, and I'm thrilled to be running for the position of RUMS VP for Academic Representation (Years 4 to 6). Navigating the clinical years can be challenging, with academic expectations and life experiences taking a toll on us. Amidst the uncertainties we face as upcoming graduates, I am determined to make this journey smoother.

Drawing on my experiences this year, particularly as an academic representative, I believe I am well-equipped for this role. I've maintained close communication with fellow reps, actively participating in meetings where I've advocated our views to the medical school. If elected, I pledge to keep you, the student body, at the forefront of all decisions.

My aims are to:

• Facilitate regular and easy-to-understand updates on UKFPO changes, advocating for Q&A sessions to empower us to make well-informed decisions about our futures.
• Continue the development and enhancement of BMX as our fourth clinical site, guaranteeing an enjoyable experience for all students across all sites.
• Collaborate with the Welfare Subcommittee to foster support for students grappling with burnout and exam stress, alongside offering practical academic and timetabling assistance.
• Revamp 'Treasure Trove' as a resource which also caters to the needs of clinical students, making it more relevant and accessible.

I am committed to serving and supporting each one of you to the best of my abilities. Let's make our time here at medical school even more enjoyable!
