I’ve recently graduated from the University of Birmingham and have now started Foundation Training in South West London. As a medical student, it seemed early on that trauma would be the most exciting area of surgery and medicine to me. In search of ways to be more involved with trauma as a student, my first exposure to the specialty came from undergraduate conferences and trauma courses. My interest in trauma then led me to undertake an elective in Major Trauma and complete my intercalation in Trauma Science. Being fortunate enough to gain some experience of trauma as a medical student, I’m keen to further improve access to academic and clinical trauma teaching for undergraduates. I’m looking forward to working as the Membership Secretary combined with Student Liaison Officer, where I hope to increase participation amongst healthcare students as well as growing the general member-base of the society. Any colleagues from medical and allied healthcare professionals, or students who’d like to hear more about BTS and get involved with trauma please do contact me.
