Committee

As President, I am fully committed in supporting the event ideas of my committee, together with increasing the profile of Leicester SCRUBS to senior figures in the medical community. During my year as president, I aim to increase the number of events focused on teaching surgical skills to our members (e.g. suturing, surgical knot tying and laparoscopy), continue the successful "career in.." lecture series and, in the longer term, improve the teaching of surgical specialities within the medical school curriculum. Ideas and feedback from our members is always welcome (leicesterscrubs@hotmail.co.uk) - anything that can improve our future events is extremely useful to us

Hey Everyone, My name is Kriti – you’re Vice President on SCRUBS. I help with the organization and catering for different events that SCRUBS throw and attend meetings with the President to help extend SCRUBS profile to benefit you- the members. This year I have tried to come up with new ideas and proposals to try and make SCRUBS bigger and better – allowing its members to gain a lot more.  I aim to continue to support the rest of the committee in their ventures and continue to try and increase the variety of events SCRUBS has to offer – helping you all decide whether Surgery is for you and for those of you like myself who have wanted to be Surgeons since they can remember – explore different specialties and gain the skills and information required to help you achieve your dream.  Please get in touch with myself or any other member of the committee if you have any queries or feedback from events or even to let us know what events you want us to throw. I am also the port of call for all of you that want to order a fabulous SCRUBS hoody – so please get in touch (kriters41@hotmail.com) and put SCRUBS Hoody as the subject! More information regarding this will be available on the website shortly. Thanks =D

Hi, I'm Tristan - soon to be a 3rd year at the time of writing this! As Treasurer my job is to manage the bank account - this basically involves budgeting and making sure that the money we do spend is spent on things that all members can benefit from. Another major part of my job is liasing with our sponsors and organising their involvement in events. This year I will be setting up a suturing course aimed at Phase 1 students and those Phase 2 students that want to brush up on their skills, I hope that you will all enjoy this and other things we have to offer just as much as we enjoy setting them up!

As secretary my role is to ensure that the society runs as smoothly and as efficiently as possible such that the members can get the most from it. This includes the somewhat less glamorous jobs such as minute taking in meetings, arranging the Leicester SCRUBS membership and replying to any emails. I also fully support other Leicester SCRUBS committee members’ ideas and events helping out however I can as well as promoting orthopaedics which is my favoured surgical speciality. As I am now in my final year you will not find me hanging around the MSB but if you catch me in the hospitals please feel free to ask me anything regarding Leicester SCRUBS – or anything else for that matter.

Hi I’m Farhaan and I’m the communications rep. I am very keen and excited to be part of this committee and my job is to make sure that all the members are aware of all the events that SCRUBS are having throughout the year. You’ll be receiving regular updates via email and facebook as to when and where the events will be. I work closely with the committee to make sure you get the most benefit as a member of the best medical school society. Join our facebook group (Leicester SCRUBS) and if you have any comments or suggestions then please let me know.

Hi, I’m Jay and I’m Scrub’s phase 1 rep. That means I’m here to publicise Scrubs events to the phase 1 cohort of the medical school, so that you know what’s going on, when and where. I’m really looking forward to working with the other scrubs committee members to make sure we get you some really interesting and beneficial events. I’m always buzzing around the MSB so feel free to grab me and say hello! Cheers Jay Grundy

Hello! My name is Sachin Nagar, I'm the Anaesthetics Rep for the Leicester Scrubs Surgical Society 2010-2011. My role involves being the lead for organising anaesthetics related scrubs events, as well as helping out my fellow committee members with their individual roles! It is my aim to raise the profile of anaesthetics as a branch of medicine and provide interesting and useful information to scrubs members! I’d like to think I’m quite approachable, so feel free to contact me if you have any questions or requests and ill do my best to address them! =)

Hi everyone, my name is Sonal and I am the WinS rep for this year. Surgery is a male dominated specialty despite the fact that over half the medical undergraduates are female. My role is to break the barriers that certain myths have created and deter women from considering surgery as a future. I will organise events that will help answer questions about choosing surgery as a career and hopefully show everyone that there are more options and choices available with surgery as a specialty. Despite the fact that my role is to promote surgery to women, it is not exclusive! Everyone is welcome to attend our events and hopefully obtain useful information about this specialty. So I hope to see you all there :-)

As the MSLC Representative I act as the link between the Royal college of Surgeons of England and Leicester medical students. My job is to ensure students are represented to the college and vice versa, contributing to issues affecting undergraduates wishing to pursue a surgical path. I am also involved in organising events, teaching and other Surgical Society activities for the benefit of members.

Hi I'm Zahir, webmaster for SCRUBS. My job is enjoyable contrary to popular belief! I'm responsible for keeping the website up-to-date with the latest information about upcoming events, special offers to members, etc. There's loads more information about generally what SCRUBS is about and how to become a member. I make all the posters for our events and put them on the website and MedicsInfo and the Lusuma site. I am also the designated camera man for our events, so that how to spot me if you have any suggestions/comments about the website, which are more than welcome!
