Hello everyone!
A reminder of our Debate night this Friday! You may attend in person or tune in virtually.
Sneak peek of the debate questions so you can gather your thoughts and make a compelling case on Friday!!
1. What impact do we as medical students and future doctors have on the general public with our actions? (Look up to healthcare workers, set the example)
2.Northern Ireland is currently the only part of the UK where an opt-out system for organ donation is not in place. Lower proportion of organ donations from BAME - why is this. Does opt-out method help?
This event is free for members! Don't worry if you didn't make up your mind to join the society just yet, you can join the fun for only £1! 😱
Tell a friend and bring a friend, See you on Friday!
